How to Design Paper
Stationery is sometimes decorated with designs, images, wording and other finishing touches. There are a variety of stationery styles in office supply stores, gift shops and craft stores. There are limitations to pre-printed designs; but you can create your own paper designs to fit your taste, or specific style needs. Designing your own stationery for scrapbooking, letter writing or even as a stationery gift package can be an interesting craft that allows you to use your creativity and imagination.
