Get eight editable flyer templates free for Microsoft Word: an event flyer, a party flyer, a yard sale flyer, a fundraiser bake sale flyer, a tear-off flyer, a lost cat poster, a small business flyer and an open house flyer, on US Letter or A4, in colour or in black and white. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. I designed every flyer in Microsoft Word and drew the bunting, balloons, price tags, cupcake and house in PowerPoint, using only shapes, then printed each one to check that the text sits in the middle of every tile. Every name, address and phone number in the samples is made up.
In this guide, you’ll find which flyer template suits your event or business, what makes a flyer easy to read from across a room, and how to change the words in Word and print copies.
What’s in the Flyer Templates

👉 Every piece of text is a click-and-type box: click the headline, a tile or the contact band and type, and the sample text disappears. The tiles stay the same size, so the layout keeps its shape while you edit.
What Makes a Good Flyer?
A flyer has a few seconds to catch someone walking past a noticeboard, so every design here follows the same plan: one big headline that says what it is, a short line under it, the three facts people need most (date, time and place, or price and contact) in bold navy tiles, then a grid of details and a clear call to action. The contact details sit in a band at the bottom where people look for them. Six of the designs have a picture at the top: bunting, balloons, price tags, a cupcake or a house. The pictures were drawn by Patrick Elliott in PowerPoint, using only shapes, so they print crisply.
Which Flyer Template Should You Use?
- Event (Family Fun Day): an event flyer template with bunting and a six-box what’s on grid, for school fairs, fun days and community events.
- Party: a party flyer with balloons and confetti, for a summer, block or birthday party.
- Yard Sale (Garage Sale): a yard sale flyer with price tags and a what’s for sale grid; the A4 file says Garage Sale.
- Fundraiser Bake Sale: a cupcake, a price list for six treats and a line saying what the money is for.
- Tear-off (Piano Lessons): a tear off flyer template with ten phone number tabs along the bottom, for lessons, tutoring or any service.
- Lost Pet (Lost Cat): a lost cat poster with a large photo box, the pet’s name, where it was last seen, a description and a reward line.
- Small Business (Lawn Care): a business flyer template with hours, area, six services and a first-visit offer.
- Open House: a house picture, the date, time and address, six home highlights and the asking price.
- Having a party at home? The birthday party invitation templates match these flyers.
How to Make a Flyer in Word
- Choose colour or black and white and your paper size above, download the ZIP and open the flyer closest to your event.
- Select the headline and type your own, keeping it to two or three words so it reads from a distance.
- Click each navy tile and type your date, time and place, or your own labels such as Price or Area.
- Click the boxes in the grid and type up to six things people will find, then change the offer line and the contact band.
- On the lost cat poster, click the text in the photo box, delete it, then choose Insert > Pictures and pick a photo of your pet.
- Print one copy to check it, then print as many as you need.
Keep a flyer to one main message and leave white space around it: people should know what it is from two metres or six feet away. Put the date in the headline area for one-off events, and always add a phone number or email. For tear-off flyers, cut up each dotted line between the tabs before you pin the flyer up. Selling tickets at the event? The raffle ticket templates are numbered and ready to print.
Black and White Versions
Every flyer also comes in black and white with the same layout: the navy tiles and contact band become white with a black outline, and the pictures are grey, so a whole stack prints quickly on any printer without using colour ink. In the download box, choose Colour, Black and white or All, then your paper size: US Letter, A4 or both.
How to Print the Flyers
Print at 100% (Actual size) on the same paper as the file, US Letter or A4. Plain paper is fine for noticeboards; bright white paper makes the colours stand out. To print many copies, set the number of copies in the print box, or print one and photocopy it. The black and white versions are the best choice for photocopying.
