How to Design Guitar Picks Online

You can use the same old bland guitar picks, or you can play with picks brandishing your artwork.

Creating custom picks can be a great way to promote your band, give a gift that's unique, or it can simply be something you use as a canvas for your designs. You can certainly create custom picks by hand, but there are also ways to design them online. With the help of some web-based resources, you can design your own picks using templates or original art and photos.

Instructions

1. Use the online pick designer at the Steve Clayton website, which specializes in guitar picks of all kinds. The site has an option that allows you to piece together your own design, starting with the pick's width and material, before eventually uploading your design and adding any text.

2. Email your your photos or designs to the Pick Guy website, which offers guitar-related gear, including the option to create your own pick designs. After you've followed the image guidelines listed on the Pick Guy website and submitted the design, you'll receive a virtual replica of your custom pick to review.

3. Visit the profile page of artisan jewelers on Artfire's website to have an ornamental guitar pick created for you. Artfire acts as a online forum where small businesses offer their their crafts and talents. And several vendors offer ornamental pick engraving on sterling silver, brass or copper templates. And with many of the vendors engraving by hand, the slight imperfections can make your pick unique.
