     Design your flier in a desktop publishing or word processing program. Type your flier's lead copy in large letters at the top of the page. Leave enough space to attach one or more photographs, depending on how many photos you plan to add to your flier. Type your closing copy at the bottom of the flier. Print fliers on your desired paper color and size: letter or legal.

     Center the photograph, or photographs, on the flier and attach them with a glue stick, spray adhesive for paper or tape. Unlike wet glue, glue sticks and spray adhesives generally do not warp paper. Alternatively, you can create one flier with original photographs, and make black and white or color photocopies to distribute.
