How to write happy birthday in cursive by hand
- 1Start with the capital H, two stems and a crossbar. Lift your pen when it is done; capitals do not join the letter that follows.
- 2Write appy as one joined word. Both p's drop below the baseline, so keep their stems the same length.
- 3Leave a clear space, then write the capital B: a stem and two bowls, with the lower bowl a little larger than the upper.
- 4Write irthday in one pass. The t and h sit next to each other, and the final y has a descender loop to the left.
- 5When the words are finished, go back and dot the i and cross the t.
