Customize Your Planner Cover for Free with Canva

Writing your name on your planner can be super stressful! What color do you pick? How thick do you want the lines? What happens if you mess up?!

I couldn’t be happier to tell you that you don’t need perfect handwriting or a huge assortment of markers and pens to write on your planner cover.

Enter Canva! Canva is a popular free design software that now has the capability to upload .pdfs.

So now you can take the printable designs you have purchased in our store and customize them to your heart’s delight!

Watch the video below or scroll down for step-by-step instructions.

Then: Download your design.

Now that you have you design on your desktop, let’s begin!
