I’ve wanted to create a calligraphy family tree for years, and my mom’s birthday gave me the excuse I needed! Today, I’ll walk you through the steps I took to make a frame-worthy family tree for my mother. My hope is that you’ll feel empowered to try making one, too!
I wanted to make something special for my mom’s birthday this month, and I knew she’d love a calligraphy family tree! I’ve toyed with creating one of these for a long time, but — to be honest — I felt confused about who to put where. It was important to me to come up with an elegant design, which also required some thought and patience! I feel happy with what I came up with today, and I’m sharing how I made it with you in case you’re interested in creating a calligraphy family tree, too.
Before you get started with the tree itself, write out the names of the people in your family. This may prove to be quite the feat for some people! In my family, for example, there have been a few divorces and remarriages. A good rule of thumb is to stick with biological direct ancestors unless there’s a real feud.
