Poor man's laptop art.

by ARTA8SIMS » Wed Apr 22, 2009 10:58 pm

Ok, I decided to make my laptop look a bit better today, but the thing is I can't find the right sticker paper to print on anywere. So this is what I've done.
Tools I've used:
A colour printer
1 photo paper
Double sided tape
Cutter

.....and the result....... ture out not too bad at all. :lol: :lol:


It'll be nice if anyone can tell me where I can get the right paper from. :)

Very nice! why not put clear contact wrap thingy over it to keep the little bits of paper from crumbling/folding up?

Its a good idea, but I'll test it few times putting it in my bag and see what will happen. The photo paper itself is very strong btw. All you need is time really, that took me a bit over an hour. :lol:

Putting clear wrap over it will make it bubble at the edges of the paper. I would suggest eventually getting the sticker paper. Should be available from office supply shops somewhere.

Sticker paper would work then. I might steal your idea when (and if I do,) get a laptop! :P
