A certificate of appreciation can feature any design and embellishments you choose; it all depends on your award recipients!  If you are making a certificate for co-workers, for example, you may want to opt for a clean and simple set of printable certificates.  Certificates made from parchment paper give a business-like impression and typically include intricate border designs in blue, red, green, gold or silver.  Parchment certificates also come in varieties with foil borders; these certificates look classy and will grab the attention of an audience.  On the other hand, if you are making certificates for children, certificates with school or sports designs are very fitting.  Shopping online, you are likely to find printable certificates with themed designs that celebrate a child’s proficiency in specific school subjects.  Using a themed certificate will make a child feel appreciated and also encourage a student to continue his or her hard work!

There are many ways to personalize a certificate of appreciation.  While printable certificates are intended for printing, some people choose to use more craft-oriented methods to make a certificate such as calligraphy, etc.  However, using a digital tool such as a free certificate template or a design program can offer you a lot of creative options.  Free templates are usually available online from stationery retailers.  By using them, you will have a pre-made layout for your certificate design to aid with printing.  All you need to do is type in your message and add decorative clip art or images, such as a school logo, if desired.  Even if using a template, it is helpful to print a test page on normal printer paper to make sure that your design appears as it is supposed to before you print on your purchased printable certificates.

A design program can assist you in creating a certificate of appreciation in as little as a few minutes.  As with templates, stationery design tools are typically offered by retailers of printable certificates and other stationery.  One example of such a program is the iClickn’Print Design Center offered by TheRoyalStore.  It has a variety of templates that come complete with clip art and certificate wording all in one place.  In addition, it features a selection of creative tools text boxes, fun fonts and colors, and shapes and lines so you can make an original certificate design suitable for any recipient.  In order to use the iClickn’Print Design Center, you must purchase a Geographics or Royal Brites product.

Making a certificate of appreciation is fun, easy, and it will mean a lot to your recipient.  By creating DIY personal gifts, you can save a lot of money and make memorable impressions on your loved ones.
