How to Create a Board Book

Creating your own board book is a great idea for a personalized gift for a baby or child in your life. You can make up your own story, use your own pictures and make the board book all about the child you're giving it to. The best part about a board book is that it is sturdy and wipes clean, which means plenty of use. Using a website, you can create your own board book and give it to someone you love.

      Decorate the labels as you wish. You can make your own story and draw on the labels with markers or crayons. Use bright colors and short sentences if you decide to put words in the book. Remember that board books are for young children, so they should be simple and graphic.

      Design your board book using the included software, if you wish. With the software, you can add digital artwork to the book that you've made yourself, or add digital photos and then print directly to the included labels.
