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. Type your message and add clip art or images, like a school logo, if you want. Even when using a template, print a test page on regular paper first. Check that everything aligns before printing on your certificate paper. This helps you avoid mistakes and saves your good paper.
