Time to get creative. Design one for your friends or yourself.
Instructions
- Start by dragging the letters to the red base (found under Design Starters > Letters and Numbers).
- Note that you can find the red base in the same category in the Shapes Panel if you don't see it.
- To make positioning the letters a little easier, change the snap grid setting from 1.0 to 0.25.
- After placing a letter, the arrow keys on the keyboard will let you nudge the letters in any direction.
- Continue to the next step.
