If your handwriting is particularly bad, consider typing your cards on a word processor. You can print out pieces of paper with vocabulary words and definitions written on them. Then, you can cut out these chunks of texts and glue them on cards. Some printers, however, may have a feature where you can print directly on to index cards. Check your printer's settings and see if this is possible. Printed, typed index cards may be more effective as it lessens the risk of illegibility or misspelling.
