About The Happy Ever Crafter:
Welcome to my channel! I'm Becca! I do & teach modern calligraphy! On this channel, you'll find all my most requested modern calligraphy tutorials, tips & tricks!
This such a valuable tutorial. Thank you sooo much for being so generous as to share it; I can imagine anyone else would jealously guard their technique. You're an angel.
Thank you soooo much! As a certified K-12 Art teacher, and 30 year calligrapher, may I say, you lady...YOU are an excellent teacher AND gifted calligrapher! I TRULY appreciate your tutorial. My son is getting married in the Fall and his bride-to-be fortunately loves calligraphy. So many labors of hand-lettered love are in my immediate future. Working with white is a new experience for me....did not think to try chalk as guidelines on the mirror. Thanks to you problem solved! Letter on...letter power!!!
WOW! That's fantastic. I was SO surprised when you could wipe away the guidelines and leave the rest there. Your work is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you! I used your instructions for my daughter's wedding and the seating chart turned out fantastic!
Hi Becca, I love to watch the work you do for clients and see your tips and tricks and actually just the logic and flow from start to finish. Thank you!!!
I love love love your teaching technique...... very thorough and precise .
Thank you, you are wonderful.
This was SO helpful!!! Thank you for being so open with your tools and process. Can't wait to watch all of your other videos!
So incredibly helpful!!! Thank you very much -- luv your demonstrations and the friendly, warm style in which you deliver them!!
Brilliant tutorial!
Thanks, Becca! I've been always curious about writing on mirrors and you made it look so easy!!
This was insanely helpful! I am a budget bride & can’t afford all the vinyl decals from a circuit machine. Thank you so much!!
You are awesome!!! Thank you for your all that you share here!
_Excellent, I always wondered how these were made, you are very talented. Thanks for sharing the video!_
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I love your videos and learn A ton.
🙏🏼💐💐💐
Wow, one of the most beautiful wedding items I've seen 😍. I definitely think my heart would be in my mouth when I rubbed the chalk off though 😂
THANK YOU Becca!!! As usual so clear and helpful. Really appreciate this as I am trying my hand at a mirrored seating chart for my friend's wedding in November! :) :) :)
Our brides will love this. :)
This is awesome and so beautiful! I’m new to handlettering and calligraphy and am planning on doing bridal hangers, champagne flutes, welcome sign and now maybe, the seating chart for my daughter’s wedding in September!! Great instructional video!
I'm enamored at your talent.
Becca - this video was soooooo helpful, especially for beginner beginners - lettering on mirrors seems so daunting, but this made it better :) thank you!
Best regards from Libya. I do Arabic calligraphy and wish to do it in English too.
This was a very helpful video! You make it look so easy. Will be using your video for guidance when I create my seating chart.
I’m TERRIBLE at math too!! So your tip on using Illustrator to help format is honestly the best tip ever. Would help me save time. Do you have any tips on when you need to centre names? Thanks for a great video Becca!
To center names, other than telling you practice makes perfect, I just suggest always drawing a center line in chalk marker down the column you're trying to center things on! You'll get a feel for how big your letters are and you'll be able to generally eyeball what the center of a name would be based on how long it is!
Brilliant techniques!
Thank you! Very informative!
Thank you so much for this! I've been watching your IG with you doing this and couldn't figure out what you were using that would wipe away! I just painted my back french door and have paint I was scraping and it was a nightmare. I'm going to try that acetone and see if it works so you probably just saved me a few hours of work! Your lettering is so gorgeous. I'm so happy to find you on TH-cam!
This is INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you so much!
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!
You are super helpful! A lifesaver!
That is beautiful!
Thank you sooo very much. You are a doll!🌸
I loved seeing this project. I never would have thought of printing on a mirror. However, I didn't understand what your goal was when the video began. Perhaps in the future you could explain more thoroughly that the bride/client was having you print the list directly onto the mirror. It would have saved three minutes of confusion for me. Thanks for all the creative ideas you share with us.
thank you for sharing. very informative!
Simple beautiful and awesome.
This is so beautiful. Great Job!!! Thanks for sharing.
Simply Amazing!!!
Just stumbled across your account and so happy I did!! So helpful thank you
Very nice job!! wondered how they worked.
Thank You for sharing!
I loved this video, would love to see more like this. You are very talented!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this!
Love this!!! Thanks for the tips with the products you used
How long in advance do you recommend making a seating chart using that method? How long does the writing remain nicely on the glass if you don't clean it out?
loved this video! thank you!
How much do you charge for those seating charts?
Very helpful! Thanks so much for sharing!
What if you don’t have good handwriting?
I use regular rubbing alcohol for removing it. Works like a champ!
You are so talented!!!
Uhhhhmazing work!
First things first…grab a ☕️ 😀🎨🖌️
This is so helpful ☺️ could you also do a quick video on your organization methods.
Very nice but how u transferred the writing or do you write it that neat on mirror
thank you mam! you are awesome!!
Hello what kind of paper do you use and are writing the info free hand .
Thnk you so much for using the brand cause I'm the creator of that brand :)
thank you so much this was very helpful
Question for you is we don’t want to purchase adobe illustrator do you recommend another site or app?
That was awesome !!
Affinity designer is a nice and budget friendly alternative to illustrator for those who are interested
so, the bistro chalk marker is what you use for the lines?
Amazing
Excellent
For any acrylic sign... Would you use a chalk pen or still use the sharpie oil paint pens?
Thanks so much! I have a question. Can we use the chalk markers as a calligraphy guide too to get the shapes right..and write over it with Sharpies?? Would it erase from.under like the guidelines?
Really liked the video !!
Is there any chance of scraping off the writing from mirror by using finger nails ?? Like some paints come off if we use our finger nails to scrape it off ?? Hope you understand my question.
Great love it, and I do like using a one side razor blade for cleaning glass . The chemicals really bother me☺️
are you using a caligraphy tip white pen?
I built the chart in Ai like you did above (so helpful!), but I have to print from a computer that doesn't have Ai. Is there a way to print it accurately? As a pdf or png it seems to just want to print one page. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Awesome video
Hi Becca! I purchased Adobe Illustrator and of course they have thousands of fonts, what is the name of the font you use? And do you size the font based on the size of the mirror? Thanks!
Thanks Becca for sharing your process, it was SUPER helpful, you're a gem!! I do have a question: I have acrylic paint pens, would they work the same way as oil based paint pens on mirrors & glass? Thanks in advance!
Hi! thank you!! Do you mind sharing what program do you use to write the lists with columns? Do you then just paste the names in illustrator? Also what cursive font do you use? Sorry ....am new to all this.
Hi there, first of all thank you have been struggling with this for a while. Which Adobe Illustrator do you use there are many and don’t want to buy the wrong one?
Can we use water based sharpie paint pens for this? Thank you!!
Thank you so so much for sharing this!! I have not found much information on how to go about this and was at a loss. I really appreciate it!
Also, how do you price these?
Impressive! I would like to do my own wedding chart but lack such skills and time. What is the cost of something like that? Do I return the mirror after the wedding?
Becca - what font size is reasonable (I'm working in adobe Illustrator too)... I have 1 head table and 10 other tables... the mirror is 33"X20" (ish)
Please, what is the font you're using in ai called?
Where were these mirrors from?
Great work! Now how would we go by getting this done by you?
What font is closest you to your style do you think?
My name imtiyaz from india i wanna ask anithing 1 by wich pen u write on glass this pen ink is parmanent or not iwanna know about this pen parmanent plz help me about this

Do you do this as a hobby, side job or full time?
Full-time calligrapher and teacher!
What fonts did you use? This is gorgeous!
Does anyone know the font name for the caligary please???
