DIY Printed Dictionary Pages

When I go junkin’, I’m always on the look out for old books and I’ve found some great, aged dictionaries.

Some of our dearest friends run a kid’s improv school in L.A. called Studio LOL.  If you live in the area, this is an amazing program that helps bring out the creativity in your child.  Our boys have participated and had a blast!  

They have received tons of accolades including the 

“Best kids Improv Class in LA” – Best of L.A. 2012, L.A. Magazine.

We thought it would be a neat gift to give them custom dictionary pages to have for their studio.

Their logo is a moustache, so we found some clip art to create pages for them.  Using any typical word processing software, create a template to use. 

We couldn’t find a monocle clip art we liked, so the Hunk made the monocle himself with our software. Use an exacto knife to carefully trim the pages.  We lightly taped the pages to regular printer paper to keep them lined up properly.

You can customize it if you find pages that have a header at the top that relates to the subject. We added  the moustache clip art to the side of the page for an extra flair.

We had such a fun time searching for fonts.  Be sure to run a few test pages first before your final print to make sure you get it right.
