Designing and making your own Coat of Arms is an interesting and
enjoyable project. The Coat of Arms could be for your family or
as a present. It will make a distinctive and original gift.
You can choose whether it will be funny or more traditional. A
Coat of Arms can be an unusual leaving present for a co-worker.
The Coat of Arms can be themed to a particular event or hobby
Hobby or special interest golf, fishing, cooking Life event
graduation, winning a particular contest Humorous funny
episodes in life, the persons quirks
Begin by choosing a background shape for the Coat of Arms. A
shield shape is traditional; however choose a shape that matches
the person it is for. You could have a heart shaped one for a
young girl or for someone who is getting married.
Then select the items that will be included in the Coat of Arms.
This could be very simple - for example a couple of crossed
tennis racquets - or fairly elaborate depending on your theme.
The final size of the Coat of Arms will restrict the number of
items you can include. A smaller letterhead size Coat of Arms
may only have one or two things, but one painted onto a canvas
could include a lot more items and extra detail.
If youre only using one item it would probably be placed
centrally. For two items you could place them side by side or

has four items they are often placed in the four quadrants which
have been sectioned off with lines.
Clip art is a handy way to select the different things to
include in your Coat of Arms. Copy and Paste a range of suitable
items onto one page and then make your final selection from
these.
When you are making a Coat of Arms for a particular person you
can include the things that they like to do. My husband is a
teacher, he likes golf, fishing and does a lot of DIY. A
Why In The World Do You Want To Make Your Own Golf Clubs?
A better question might be, why would you not want to build your own golf clubs. If you have shopped for a new driver lately, you know that the cost of top brand name clubs has skyrocketed. .....

into four quadrants. The sections could have * A mortar board
* Golf clubs * Fisherman * A cross shape made from a hammer and
screwdriver
For a smaller, less formal one I could use a golf ball shape
background with a diagonal cross made of a fishing rod and a
golf club. There could also be a motto like Lifes too short to
work! or something similar.
A good theme for a funny Coat of Arms would be to choose things
that represent silly episodes in their life. You can really get
creative with your items!
To make up your Coat of Arms draw in the background shape and
place your items for a pleasing result. You could add a motto at
the bottom as well. Using computer fonts for this will ensure
that the lettering, and the spacing between the letters, is
perfect.
If you have done this in a computer program you could print it
out. Remember that most computer inks will fade over time if
left in the sunlight.
Alternatively you could trace and paint the Coat of Arms onto a
canvas panel. For a larger one you can print out sections of the
Coat of Arms onto several pages of computer paper and join them
together. Trace this onto a canvas panel or stretched canvas and
paint it I like to use acrylic paints because they are water
based and quick and easy to use.
A large Coat of Arms on a stretched canvas is an impressive gift.
If you have made a family Coat of Arms you could add it to your
letterhead, or print it onto the front of cards for your own
personalized stationery.
This is a great project that you will enjoy doing either by
yourself or with others. Be sure to give it a try.
