How to Make Your Own Stationery
Making personal stationery is a quick and simple way to customize any letter or note that you may need to write. Since the stationery is being made there is no limit on the amount of decoration it can have and will truly have a unique look that any reader will appreciate.
Items needed:
- Paper
- Stamps
- Ink pad
Instructions:
- Place one sheet of paper on a smooth surface area away from the others. The paper selected does not matter but keep in mind that using plain white paper may not look as appealing as using a thicker cardstock type paper or even a paper such as resume paper.
- Choose a stamp to place in the top left hand corner of the paper. One way to make the paper unique for an individual is to choose a letter stamp. The letter could be that of the person's first name or last. Press the stamp into an ink pad. Color should be based solely on preference. Press the stamp onto the top left hand corner of the paper.
- Brush the remaining ink off of that stamp and then set aside. Select a stamp that can be used as a border. These typically are stamps that have a rectangular shape to them. The design of the stamp is usually something simplistic so as to not distract from the contents that will eventually be written on the stationery when it is being used.
- Press this border stamp into an ink pad and then press it around the edges of the paper. The stamp may need to be pressed into the ink pad again.
- Repeat these steps as many times as needed until the desired amount of stationery has been created.
