                        Making a Love Letter 
						Look Good

                        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!
