Find graphics or clip art to use on the flyer. Your word processing or graphics software packages may contain images that will be appropriate, or you may need to obtain images from a free website. AAA Clip Art and Barry's Clip Art offer free images (see Resources below).

Import the graphics or clip art that you have chosen, and arrange them on the page along with the text. Adding a border around the page can help the text stand out.

Choose the paper you will use to print the flyer. While orange is the traditional color for Halloween flyers, you may find that white or yellow are equally good choices if your flyer contains bold graphics.

Proofread the text of your flyer. Check that the date, time and place are correct, and that there are no spelling errors. Ask someone else to proofread the flyer too, as it is easy to miss small mistakes. After your flyer has been proofread, print it on the paper of your choice.

Tips & Warnings
Post the flyers in highly visible areas such as stores, libraries, grocery stores and community centers. Ask permission before you post a flyer. Send your flyer to local newspapers, and radio and TV stations for maximum coverage of your event. Make sure the date of the event is final before you print out the flyers. Making Halloween flyers is a good project for children. Provide the details for the flyers, and ask the children to provide Halloween drawings that illustrate your event.
