How it works
Happy Mother's Day opens in bubble letters on one sideways sheet: Fredoka, black outline, white middle, a 39 mm H over the outline. Colour it in, change the wording to Mum, Grandma or Nana, or print a 15-sheet banner.

One sheet to colour, or 15 for a banner
To add Mum, tap after Day, press Enter and type it. Leave Mother's on its own line: on three lines the H is 38 to 40 mm over its outline in all six fonts, on two 25 to 32 mm. For a banner, set What goes on a page to One letter per page: 15 upright sheets, 3.2 m end to end. The apostrophe shares the r's sheet.
Seven holes: a, p, p, o, e, D, a
The Bubble look fattens every stroke. Fredoka and Mochiy Pop One keep six holes white and only the e closes to a mark; Lilita One closes all seven. Hollow and Sunset fade leave every hole open.
Tips
- One word per page is uneven: Day prints more than twice as tall as Mother's.
- No flowers are drawn on the sheet. The short Day line leaves white space either side: draw them there.
- How to draw it under Kind of sheet takes ten letters: it draws Happy. Type Mother's alone next.
Questions and answers
How do you draw Happy Mother's Day in bubble letters?
Rule three pencil lines and write one word on each, widely spaced. Draw a rounded outline around every letter and the apostrophe, a small bubble of its own. Rub out the pencil, then colour.
Where does the apostrophe go in Mother's Day?
Before the s. Anna Jarvis, who founded the American holiday, wanted a singular possessive, each family honouring its own mother, so it is Mother's and not Mothers'. A straight or a curly one draws in all six fonts.
How big do the letters print?
Over the outline the one-sheet H is 38 to 40 mm in the Bubble look and 36 to 38 mm in Hollow. One letter per page gives a 15 to 16 cm Bubble H, the wide M smaller: 12 cm in Lilita One.
Can I print it in pink instead of colouring it in?
Yes. Under More options, set Colours to Bubblegum: pink letters with a purple outline. Hot pink has a white edge, so its Bubble letters print with no outline. Look set to Sunset fade runs yellow, coral, purple.
Can I change it to Mum, Grandma or Nana?
Yes. Type up to 40 characters; Enter starts a new line. After your first press, Mother's Day greetings to print holds Happy / Mother's Day / Mum, the same for Grandma and Nana, Best / Mom / Ever and Feliz Día / de las Madres.
