Schools, libraries, and afterschool programs across the country have been using FabMaker Studio to design, invent, and prototype 3D projects, pop-ups and 2D creations with the help of a Silhouette paper cutter. But did you know that projects can also be completed with a printer and a pair of scissors?

Check out the video below for a quick how to:

This means the FabMaking isn’t limited to where a Silhouette is available. At home, students can print the cut & fold lines and create their FabMaker projects.

Step 1: Once the project is ready to be printed, select the Printer icon.

Step 2: On the Print Preview page select the “Print Cut & Fold Lines.” And if you don’t want to print the interior color, you can select “Remove Color Fill.” Next, select Save to PDF to start the printing process.

Step 3: Open the PDF in a reader of your choice, hit print, and grab your scissors!
