Have you recently been inspired to start writing letters?
But are you also intimidated by the letter
writing tips you’ve found on
Pinterest? While you can certainly strive to create beautiful letters like you
see online, if you’re just starting this new hobby you have to remember it
takes practice. We’ve put together a list of supplies you’ll want to have
on-hand if you want to take up the habit of writing letters.
1.
Stationary. There’s thousands and thousands of
options out there when it comes to stationary. Choose one that you send all the
time, giving your letters a signature look. Or choose different types so you
can change it up based on the person, occasion, and season. Stationary will
make your letters stand out, plus it’s more fun to use than plain paper.
2.
Pens. It may be obvious, but there’s many types
of pens you can choose from. Want to keep it simple? Go for black. Want
something more eye-catching? Write in a different color. Maybe you want to
learn to use a fountain pen, which will give your letters a more elegant appearance.
Invest in some high-quality pens specifically for letters!
3.
Stickers. If you’re looking for an easy way to
dress up your letters and envelopes, stickers are a cheap and easy way to do
that. There’s tons of options out there to choose from. Just make sure you don’t
block the address or the return address.
4.
Stamps. Stamps are another easy way to dress up
your letters and envelopes. Like stickers, you can find tons of options at your
local craft store or online.
5.
A letter opener. If you’re going to be sending a
lot of letters, you’re going to start receiving a lot of letters as well. You’ll
want to have a tool to make it easy to open those letters without destroying the
envelopes. Maybe this is to keep the return address safe, maybe it’s because a
lot of work went into the envelope. No matter the reason, you should plan to
invest in a letter opener.
These simple items will help you
get started when it comes to letter writing!
