Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 8:50 pm

Lined paper is one of the most useful tools that you can have in your office. Whether you’re taking notes, writing a report, or doing any other type of writing, lined paper can be a great help.

But what if you don’t have any lined paper in your office? Or what if you want to save money and don’t want to buy a new pack of lined paper?

Luckily, there’s a way to make your own lined paper in Canva. Canva is a free online design platform that you can use to create all sorts of designs, including lined paper. Here’s how you can make lined paper in Canva:

1. Go to the Canva homepage and sign up for an account. You’ll need to provide your name, email address, and create a password.

2. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button.

3. In the “Create New Design” window, select “Custom Dimensions” and enter 8.5 inches for the width and 11 inches for the height. This will give you a standard sheet of lined paper.

4. Next, click on the “Background” tab and select the color or background pattern that you want for your lined paper. For a traditional look, choose white or cream.

5. Now it’s time to add the lines to your paper.

Click on the “Elements” tab and then scroll down until you see the “Lines” section. Choose the type of line that you want and then click and drag it onto your canvas. You can also adjust the thickness, color, and spacing of your lines by using the controls on the right-hand side of the screen.

PRO TIP: This article contains instructions on how to make lined paper in Canva. However, it is important to note that this process can only be done using the Canva desktop app. The Canva mobile app does not currently have the ability to create lined paper.

6. Once you’re happy with your lined paper, click on the “Download” button in the top-right corner of the screen and select either “PDF – Print” or “PNG – Web.” This will downloads your file so that you can print it out or use it online.
