Create your own design

Print out the template (11x17) and the units (8.5x11)

Cut out units, glue them to the border template.

You can rotate the elements, just do it in a pattern order.

Connect the units

Design a corner. You can add units or skip a few for your design. Use ruler for straight lines.

Repeat the corner unit to complete the border.

Use a pencil to add shadows where needed.
