Hey Everyone!

I have received lots of questions about how to make your own Lilly Pulitzer Binder Covers so I wanted to explain how I made my own. 

 

1) To begin, I googled “Lilly Pulitzer Print Wallpaper” and found the print that I wanted to use to make my binder covers. I also have a lot saved on my Pinterest “Pulitzer” board. For this tutorial, I used the print “Jellies Be Jammin”. 

2) Next, I clicked on the image and I saved it as a JPG to my desktop.

3) I used the website Canva.com to make my binder covers. The “Poster” design works best for a binder cover. 

4) When you click on the “Poster” design, this screen will open up. Click on “Upload your own images” and choose the Lilly Print that you saved. I clicked on it and just uploaded it straight from my desktop. Your image will pop up in the bottom left corner of the screen and you just need to click on the image for it to open on the template. 

  5) Once your image is uploaded, Go to the “text” tab on the left side. Here you can pick and click  through different text layouts. Make sure you pick one that says “free” so that you won’t be charged. 

6) I scrolled down a bit until I reached these layouts. I ended up picking the white ribbon one. Each one is customizable with colors and fonts though. Click on the text layout that you want and it will pop up on the poster screen.

7) One the text layout is on the screen, you can customize it by clicking through colors and different fonts. Personally, I like the font that comes with this design so I just change my colors. I have found that a white or off-white color works best for a background. Next, I typed in the name of my course. For the text color and border color, I like to choose a color that is found in the print to compliment it.

8) One everything is the way you want it, hit the download button at the top right and then hit “Image: for Web (JPG)”. 

9) Next, hit save File and then drag it from your Downloads file to your desktop. Lastly, just print it out and you have your very own binder cover!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m sharing another DIY Lilly Pulitzer Post. One of my friends, Rachel, wanted to make a gallery wall for her dorm. She sent me a Pin that had the idea to use Kate Spade wrapping paper inside a frame for a gallery wall picture. I thought this was a great idea, but I lacked Kate Spade wrapping paper, so I used Lilly Pulitzer tissue paper. Any sort of wrapping paper or tissue paper will work for this DIY. I went to my local Lilly Signature Store, The Pink Crab, and asked for some extra tissue paper with my purchase. They gladly gave me 6 extra sheets! If you don’t have any Lilly Tissue Paper, you can use cute wrapping paper or any sort of fun print or paper you like. The thicker the paper the better though, so wrapping paper is probably best. For my frame, I bought a simple white frame from Ikea. 

 

1. Gather Supplies: Scissors, Frame, Wrapping/Tissue Paper

2. Put the frame on the Paper to measure and pick which part of the paper you would like to use. 

3. Cut the paper out.

4. Secure the paper in the frame. (Mine was a picture frame so I just put the paper in and then secured the back into place)

5. Your frame is now done! You can hang it on a wall with 3M Strips or prop it on a desk if it is a picture frame. 

If you try this, let me know! Another fun idea would be to print out Lilly Prints and put them inside! Feel free to show me your ideas!

I hope you enjoy!
