How to Make Free Sample Flyers
A flyer is a promotional document used to advertise a product or service. Sample flyers can be used as a guideline in creating other flyers. Many consumers want to know how to make free sample flyers instead of paying a company for this service. Advantages of making your sample flyers at home include control over your layout, design and costs.

Tips & Warnings
Set all margins to 1 inch, and try to leave plenty of white space between elements on the page. If you place elements too close together, the document will be more difficult to read.
When placing text and graphics on the page, keep the text within the margins, or the text and pictures will print to edge of the page. This is called "bleeding," and it makes the document less attractive.
