Synopsis

With step-by-step tutorials and projects that span a wide spectrum of skills, The Spoonflower Handbook is written for both new and experienced users of this print-on-demand technology.
 
Designing fabric, wallpaper, and gift wrap used to be the stuff of dreams. Only a few select creatives got to do it, and it required formal training and significant financial investment. But times have changed, and today anyone with a computer, Internet connection, and idea can upload a file and order their own fabric or paper, printed affordably one yard or more at a time. At the forefront of this revolutionary DIY movement is Spoonflower, a North Carolina startup that produces designs for hundreds of thousands of users worldwide—24 hours a day, seven days a week to keep up with demand.
 
Covering everything from equipment to software to working with photos, scans, repeats, vector files, and more, Spoonflower cofounder Stephen Fraser, author Judi Ketteler, and award-winning artist Becka Rahn present this essential guide to a booming new creative outlet.
