Make a Certificate as a Meaningful Gift

If a family member, friend, pupil, or colleague in your life deserves to be celebrated, making a certificate for them is an excellent way to show that you formally recognize his or her accomplishments.  Certificates are impressive, low cost gifts you can make in a short amount of time.  TheRoyalStore.com offers certificates in a standard 8.5”x11” size or a mini 3UP size (three certificates per sheet) which is great for gift certificates.  Printable certificates come in a wide variety of styles and patterns, so finding a great pattern is the first step in making a certificate that will leave a lasting impression on your award’s recipient.

At TheRoyalStore.com, you can make a certificate from a large choice of decorative styles.  If you’re aiming to make a traditional-looking certificate, check out parchment certificates and foil filigree certificates.  If you’re looking for something plain and simple, check out non-parchment certificates as well.  If your certificate will go to a child, mini 3UP certificates are great for making cute awards!

Learning how to make a certificate on your own is fun and easy.  Now that you have the appropriate certificate paper, you’re going to need a design program or some templates for your certificate layout; this will ensure that your finished certificate has a clean, professional look.  TheRoyalStore.com offers free certificate templates that come complete with customizable headings, fill-in lines, clipart, and suggested wording.  All Geographics templates can be downloaded from TheRoyalStore.com and open in Microsoft Word so you can make and print your certificate in a snap.  In addition to certificate templates, you’ll find templates for all sorts of projects.
