Als je stickerletters of letters van chipboard gebruikt gebeurt het regelmatig dat bepaalde letters inmiddels gebruikt zijn, terwijl je toch nog graag een titel zou willen maken met deze letters.
Nu kun je natuurlijk in je titel verschillende alfabets gebruiken.
Op de site van
Denny Davis kwam ik een lijstje tegen met tips hoe je van de ene letter een andere letter kunt maken:
ABC Letter Substitutions:
(Use small stickers like hearts, flowers and stars to cover splices. Use the same stickers elsewhere on the page so it will be less obvious. Punctuation mark stickers also can be used to alter a letter.)
A - use an upside down V and any other straight piece of another letter
B - use an R by trimming it a little and putting a sticker to cover the missing part
B - use a D and add a sticker where needed
C - form it from an O, G, Q, a zero, a six or an upside down D
D - use a C, O, G or Q and add a straight piece from a letter you don't think you will use
D - trim away part of the B and use a sticker to cover where needed
E - use an F and the bottom of an L - or just put an L on top of an F
E - trim off part of the B
F - trim off some of the E, B, P or R
G - add a straight piece to the C
H - use two I's and a small straight piece
I - trim a little off the bottom of the "J" and place a sticker over it.
I - use the number 1 and add a sticker where needed - you may want to turn it upside down
J - trim the I a little and add stickers as needed
K - trim off part of the R and add stickers as needed
L - trim off part of an E
M - use an upside down W or two upside down V's
N - use a Z on its side
O - Trim the "Q" to be an "O".
O - use the zero
P - trim off the R or B
Q - add a piece to the O or zero
R - use a "B" and the "stem" of the "L" or "I".
R - use a "P" and add a piece from a letter you don't think you will use (like 'x')
S - carefully trim the 5, 8 or "and" symbol or use the "squiggle" from the classic ABC's
T - add a piece as need to the I, L or number one
U - trim off part of the O, Q or zero
V - use part of the W, A or X
W - use 2 V's or an upside down M
X - use 2 lower case v's - one right side up, the other upside down.
Y - attach the top half of an X to the lower half of an I or a T. Trim the width where the two letters join so that the seam is not noticeable (or put a small sticker there).
Y - place a sticker so that it appears to completely cover the lower part of a "Y". But use half of an "X" instead of a "Y". One "X" will make two "Y's"!
Z - use an N on its side

n - cut off a hump of the "m" or use an upside down "u"
p - flip a lower case "d"
