For most people, photocopying is for presentations, newsletters, mass mailings and the like. But, according to the book Creative Photocopying, photocopiers are great tools for crafts and home décor projects as well.
Written by crafting gurus Stewart and Sally Walton, the book shows how photocopiers can be used for a range of decorative projects, from homemade wrapping paper to textile projects to decorating furniture and walls. Projects use copies of everything from family photographs, to calligraphy, to photocopies of textiles; the creative possibilities are boundless. This great book offers crafters illustrative photographs, a library of clipart, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to create such innovative projects as a decoupage fireplace, a circus-themed frieze, and an “underwater” bathroom.
