    \n
  1. The first step in making certificates<\/strong> is to choose a blank certificate<\/a> from our extensive line of certificates with decorative border designs in many different styles. You will find blank certificates with traditional borders, seasonal borders like snowflakes and autumn adornments, and certificates in both portrait and landscape format. With almost 500 blank certificates from which to choose, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll find one you\u2019ll love.\"Jets<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. The next step is to download a template for the certificate to be used in your word processor. All you have to do is include the personal information such as the recipient\u2019s name, the reason for the award, the date, and any other additional information you\u2019d like to add. PaperDirect even has a certificate template CD<\/a> to assist you in the formatting and printing of your certificates. The CD will automatically set up your margins, borders, tabs and font once you\u2019ve made your selections.<\/li>\n
  3. When you have created the certificate to your desired specifications, simply hit the \u201cprint\u201d button, and in no time at all, you will have a professional-looking personalized award certificate that anyone would be thrilled to receive.<\/li>\n
  4. To jazz up your certificate even more, simply add graphics such as a company logo, tagline or some other image to add that \u201cwow\u201d factor.<\/li>\n
  5. Finally, choose one of PaperDirect\u2019s many certificate accessories such as an embossed certificate seal,<\/a> certificate holder<\/a>, or certificate frame<\/a> to ensure this special award from the heart lasts forever.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
