Tips/Tricks

  • Use a QR to make a quick link to an online tutorial or template, such as at https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/.
  • To find free templates, try searching on YouTube, as they will also feature a tutorial and image of the finished product.
  • The included templates may not be square with the paper, so they may be crooked when folded across the main dashed line.
