Re: DIY STD?
Ideally if you have photoshop or illustrator I wouild say use that, if you don't you can use either program or, if you have it, MS Publisher.
If you need any suggestions for wording try Verse It

Materials: Magnet paper (can be bought at staples-4 sheets for $12) Picture to be set as background TIME AND PATIENCE
1. I used Microsoft Word which made it really difficult. 2. Copy and paste the picture you want to use 3. Resize it to the size you would like the actual magnet to be. 4. Right click and select format picture. Set the layout of the picture to be sent to back, so that the text shows up in front of the picture. 5. Copy and paste the picture 7 more times that way you have the same size magnet and you can fit 8 magnets on one paper to save you money. 6. Make sure you have the toolbar for drawing so you can use textboxes 7. I used the textboxes for the Save the date title, the website, the Date, and the Information box. 8. Right click and set the boxes to be in front of background. 9. Again copy and past 7 other times to put onto the other magnets. 10. Make a table if you want the calendar on the magnet. Again set the table to be in front of background and copy another 7 times 11. You may have to adjust the margins so that nothing gets cut off and this may cause you to have to adjust the magnets... i had to do this Many many times!!! 12. This is the way i wanted my magnets to look, but you may have your own vision, but thats what i essentially did and you can alter it. 13. Print!!! 14. Have fun cutting them!!!
Hope that helps!!!
