Advice
- If you're not feeling inspired, try searching Google Images. Do a search by typing in some of your ideas, get inspired by the images and refine your searches until you get the right idea.
- Use free or royalty photography sites, such as fotolia.com
- You can also use other specialized sites that offer free and ready-to-print certificates, such as https://www.savewordtemplates.net/free-gift-certificate-templates.html. Search online to find other such sites.
- In addition to rolling up the certificate and tying it with a ribbon, try slipping it into a poster tube, perhaps with gift colors like gold or silver. This container will keep the certificate safe for years. Another alternative would be to not roll up the certificate, but rather frame it with a seal or envelop it.
