How to write welcome home in cursive
- Start with the w (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): two undercurves like a u, plus a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the w, write the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Start with the h (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): a tall loop followed by a hump, like an l and an n joined together.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
