Learn how to use Spiro Paths in Inkscape to create these decorative ornaments that can be made into elegant logo and monogram designs.

The secret to making these paths look fluid and natural is knowing which mode to use for the Pen Tool. The Spiro setting allows you to draw curvy lines that retain a perfect contour as your draw them.
