Making a Love Letter
Look Good
by Tash Hughes of

The key to a love letter is to
handwrite it so it is truly personal and shows care and
attention. But that doesn’t mean it has to be blue
writing on a lined piece of white paper. Be creative and
have some fun with presenting your letter.
Here are some ideas to get you
started:
©
Use different coloured pens to write with,
or even try crayons, pencils, paints or textas instead.
Even glitter glue can be used for a sparkling effect!
©
Write the letter on beautiful paper and
place it in a matching envelope. If you have the time
and knowledge, making some paper yourself has an even
bigger impact
©
Put the letter into a document or photo
frame so it can be on display
©
Create a scrapbooking page around your
letter – add stickers, photos and memorabilia of you
relationship around your words
©
Fold the letter into a different shape,
such as a love heart
©
Surround your letter with photos of the
two of you together and then frame or laminate it all as
a display of your love
©
Print a large photo of the two of you or
yourself and write the letter on top of it. Note you
will need to print a pale photo or print it as a
watermark on the page or your letter won’t show well
enough to read
©
Cut out paper as if to make a paper box
and then write your letter on the cut out. You can then
create the box and fill it with some chocolates or other
gift
©
If you’re writing is really hard to read,
consider have someone else copy your words in
calligraphy which looks beautiful and certainly worthy
of a frame or other presentation
©
Write your letter out and then cut the
page into a few pieces so your lover will have a jigsaw
to put together first. Make this more fun by hiding each
piece in a different place, such as in a box of
chocolates, a gift box, a lingerie drawer, a champagne
glass and your pocket.
©
Create a special frame for your letter by
cutting out a big pink or red cardboard heart and
sticking your letter in the middle. The heart can be
decorated with lace, stickers, glitter or anything else
that takes your fancy
©
For a very short letter, write it in icing
on top of a cake! Have a paper copy for your lover to
keep as well! Alternatively, write it on rice paper
which is edible and can be placed on top of a cake.
©
Use fabric pens/paints and write your
letter on a hanky, tea towel, tee shirt or other cloth
item for a letter that lasts!
