DIY: do it yourself

Planning and making your stationery should be enjoyable and rewarding experience. Before you start, here few guides that will help you save time and money.

• Take the time to consider your theme, colours, budget, the time available and your level of expertise and patience.
  
  
• Attempt something within in your artistic abilities.
  
  
• Make a complete sample yourself of everything you want to make.This means, printing on the papers, cutting and gluing it all together. By doing this,
  you will understand better your skill level, your printing capabilites, and how much stock you will need to buy.
  
  
• When buying your materials, bring your samples in and a list of all the items you need, including extras for mistakes and glues.
  
  
• Give yourself TIME. We always try to keep a large amount of stock on hand, but it is safe to buy all your items 2 weeks ahead of when you plan to get started. This allows for us to order in any extra stock for you.
  
  
• Proof ready everything, ask another person to proof read all yours stationery before your print. It is so easy to miss the most obvious mistakes and heart breaking having to do it again.
  
  
• If your not sure, just ask us. All the lala girls are all self taught, and have made our share of mistakes and are happy to pass the lessons on to you.
