Whether you design for fun or for a living, Inkscape is an awesome tool to work with! Use your mouse to click on the node and drag the node out to increase the size of the object (you can also go in if you want to decrease its size).Welcome to Design School and our Inkscape class! Here you can learn all things Inkscape with our handy tutorials and guides to help you step by step to making the most of your software and files. When you do that a little tiny diamond shaped node will appear. Select Path > Dynamic Offset, or use the shortcut keys of ctrl+J. Repeat until you have the desired thickness for the letters outline. Select Path > Outset, or use the shortcut keys of ctrl + 0 (that's a zero.Inkscape shows this shortcut as ")ctrl + )" but I find that confusing, it makes me think I need to hold down the shift key to use the parenthesis symbol, but I have never needed to).

One is to simply use the stroke option and set the stroke to whatever number thickness you want. There are three methods that I know of for creating an outline around text in Inkscape. Although I am using text here this basically can apply to objects you create in Inkscape as well. A little, basic tutorial showing how I go about creating a simple text design in Inkscape and add a texture/pattern to the text design using GIMP.
