How To Make Weekly Squares Stickers for Your Erin Condren Planner












Today I am going to show you all how easy it is to make your own Erin Condren Weekly Square stickers. I can obviously keep providing you with new ones every now and then, but wouldn't it be nice to make your own, a full sheet of your favorite quotes? Or your favorite designs? We all don't live by the same quotes and all have different styles and tastes.


Down below is also a word file you can download... 


Many people in the We Love EC group on Facebook make them, that's why I thought it would be a good idea to make this blog post for my followers on Instagram who is not in the group. 


How To Make Erin Condren Weekly Squares: 


Step 1: find pictures of your favorite quotes or backgrounds and save them all to your computer. Or if you want you can just copy each one from the website directly and paste it into Microsoft word so you don't have to have all those files on your computer.

I use Pinterest for all of my pretty quotes images
 
I use Google Images search engine to find my patterned images


Step 2: Open up Microsoft word


Step 3: Paste the picture file into Microsoft word, and make sure the wrapping of the text is "in line with text" (as you add more pictures the pictures will be lined up perfectly next to each other, you want it close like that so you won't have to cut the extra white borders out. 

Copy the image you would like

and Paste it into Microsoft Word




Step 4: Resize the picture by right clicking the image, click on format picture, click on resize image and change the  height to 1.9 inches and the width to 1.5 inches. Be sure to uncheck the box that says "lock aspect ratio"


The image will be big when you paste it in, to resize it right click>format picture...
 
This box will appear
to change the size, uncheck the box"lock aspect ratio", and change the height to 1.9" and width to 1.5"


Step 5: Repeat for all images you want. This is the hard part, if any of you know of an easier way please let me know. But for now this is the only way I know how to make it.




Optional Step: If you want you can also put a border around each image so you can see where to cut exactly
  • just right click>format picture
  • then click on "line"
  • choose a color
  • and press okay



choose a color line for your border
This what it looks like with a border, again this is optional







Step 6: go to file>reduce file size to make the file smaller


Step 7: save as PDF or word, whichever you prefer!


Step 8: print on sticker paper! Or print on regular paper, cut it all up, and use your sticker maker or adhesive of your choice to stick these beauties in your planner!

You can paste all your photos and then resize them all at the same time by hitting ctrl+a.

I've tried that you can't select all the pictures at once.

Thanks for the tips!! This will be much easier than guessing! Any idea if there is a program on a tablet that it's possible to do this?
