How to Design Your Own Bumper Sticker If you have a design, slogan or graphic that you want to share with the world via your vehicle, you can create your own personalized bumper sticker in minutes using only your computer, paper and creativity. Bumper stickers are an easy and cost-effective way to advertise your business or just to share a thought with others on the road. Use bumper sticker paper so you can remove and replace your bumper stickers if necessary.

3 Type any text you have chosen onto your bumper sticker template. Remember that your slogan should be short and to the point so that it can be typed in a large enough font for reading from a distance, so highlight your text and choose a larger font size in the toolbar under the "Home" tab in Microsoft Office 2007. Change the color or font of your text by choosing different options in the "Home" tab.
