Printing at home
Want the cat designs first? Preview the Bookish Cats sheet and find the signup form on its project page.
Open the project page to see the preview, file format, and paper size. For a bookmark sheet, select portrait orientation and match the paper setting to what is in your printer. A4 and US Letter are slightly different sizes, so use Fit to Page for the bookmark sheets and check the margins. For the word search, print just the grid you want to use and keep the answer key separate.
Choose paper for the project
Ordinary printer paper works for a test copy, colored pencils, and pencil puzzles. If you use markers, try a small patch and put a scrap sheet underneath. For a bookmark you plan to use regularly, choose light cardstock if your printer supports it. You can also color a sheet printed on ordinary paper, glue it to a card backing, and trim it after the glue dries.
Make something with the time you have
Color one bookmark for a short break or print a word search for a quiet group activity. If you’re starting a crochet project, read the materials and stitch notes before choosing your yarn. Paper projects are a good choice when you want to work with basic supplies you already have at home.
