Time to get creative. Design one for your friends or yourself.

Instructions

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