Start by using bright colors and sweeping promises.
The reader cannot help but open it to see what's inside! "Free" is always an attention-grabber. The presence of a "trained specialist" doesn't hurt either.
Be sure to include a lot of really good quality artwork, employing every single marker in the Crayola Brights 8-pack. Terms like, "And much, much more!" spur the reader's curiosity, and telling them not to wait any longer creates a sense of urgency.
Finally, don't forget the vital information on the back; this part doesn't need to be flashy because by the time the reader gets there, they're hooked!
(summer 1991)
(I "taught" my two sisters one class, wherein they were only allowed to sew straight lines onto typing paper. I'm glad they didn't sue me for false advertising.)

Cute Sara,
What a fun little blast from the past. Your creative personality must have started at a very young age!

Yeah, you so owe me! I signed up specifically to make a pair of boxers, since they were listed AND pictured. I totally would have worn them every day! I didn't even get boxers out of the typing paper!
This is pretty funny. I remember the class, but not your lovely tri-fold brochure. I wish I could find one from me and Kate's "KJ Carwash" business!
Oh my goodness. I don't remember taking any lessons from you. I love how I put down that more information was needed. That is SO funny. Plus I'm pretty sure that around age 14 is when I took sewing in school, and I really did learn a lot. This is so funny. Where did you find that?
I found it when looking through my box the other night; the box with yearbooks and old cards and letters and church programs, etc. I have Jamie's application too. This would've been the summer right after I had taken sewing at school so I guess I was super-anxious to share my skills!
this is fabulous!
haha. that's awesome (please say in 1991 style). amazing how much time we could spend back in the day with some markers and paper.
do you, by chance, have that paper where you, Ginny, and I made up poems in church one day freshman year? I hope one of you has it. I'll have to see if maybe I do.
This is a riot. I love this kind of stuff!
