Microsoft Word for everything basic, Adobe Acrobat to make them editable.
The secret is out!
I didn't take a class to learn how. I'm self-taught. I've loved technology since I first used a computer when I was a child. Ever since I've been curious about everything, so I explore and play and practice with it all. I love lists and forms, so I started creating my own about 4 years ago.
I love sharing what I create, which is why I have so many free printables available. My husband says I offer too many for free since I have a "talent". Whatever. I like sharing - and it's a lot easier to share on my blog than go through the hassle of listing it on Etsy.
To be honest, I opened the Etsy store to make money when I was unemployed and searching for a teaching job. Now that I've found one, every dollar earned goes into my classroom, which is so helpful since our paychecks go to our student loan debt (yuck). Therefore, if you buy from me, you're supporting my classroom. {My students thank you.}
Questions?
How do you post them so that they print from your blog? I just did a printable sewing project form and struggled with how to make it available to my readers. I love how I can simply click on your image and print.
ReplyDeletePlease tell your husband that I agree you have talent and I am so grateful for your generosity...it may not contribute to the bank account (at the moment) but knowing your appreciated has its own rewards:)
Thank you so much for posting this, I always wonder the same question but I have never asked. It is really nice of you to offer them for free.
ReplyDeleteI love the calendar, I use it for tracking my workouts!
ReplyDelete:) And we thank you for sharing that talent...and secret... with us!!
ReplyDeleteHow do u make them in adobe acrobatand make them editable?
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm looking at how to make printables. I want to make a party planner & cards. Can you make non-editable printables with word? They would be to put on Etsy. Great post!
ReplyDeleteAlso if it is a custom printable lets say a party invite for example, on etsy would they have to do a custom order so that I could put their info in it or can I make it regular listing? Sorry I have a lot of questions, I'm new to the world of printables!
Thanks!
