Guide Review - The Color Printer Idea Book
Kay Hall presents 40 fun projects that you can make with your inkjet printer, almost any type of graphics or page layout software, and a few extra craft supplies. Customize a clock face, make jewelry, print personalized sticky notes, or do needlework without needle and thread. After some software and hardware introductory material, the bulk of the book is devoted to the projects themselves. Full color photos show all the completed crafts. In one or two pages per project, Kay shows the work in progress, lists the required materials, and explains how each craft item can be created. Follow the instructions step-by-step or use the projects as a starting point for your own custom creations.
