Temporary Tattoos
Whether your kids are dressing up for Halloween and want to sport some temporary body art, or if you want to try a design before committing yourself to it for a lifetime – temporary tattoos can be created at home with your printer. Print the design on temporary tattoo paper – and don’t forget to print the image in reverse, so that it is the correct way when applied to your skin.
Personalised Paper Bags
Give brown paper bags an instant make over on a budget with your printer. These make fantastic lolly bags for kids parties, or show bags for events.

Fabric Printing
Create handmade gifts, sew-in name labels and more with your printer. Most fabrics can be printed on, as long as it is thin enough to get through the printer feeder. (Although you will need to use a stabiliser to keep the fabric in place). Fabrics that work well for this kind of project include muslin, cotton, and linen as they absorb the ink well.
Print Your Own Board Game
Stuck at home with the kids on a rainy day? Salvation may be staring you in the face in the form of your home printer! Printable board games can be found easily online – and at a fraction of the cost of purchasing it.
