Hey guys, it's Megan!


When I started my website, I was excited about having a space to share free printable templates for the projects I've made. After a bit of experimenting, this is the method I came up with:


For this project, you'll need:

*your hand-drawn template

*an 8.5x11 piece of paper

*and an iPad + Apple Pencil.


If you don't have an iPad, you could probably do this on your phone. Or on an older iPad/tablet with a regular stylus.


Place the template on top of your 8.5x11 piece of paper, and take a picture of it.


Step 1 of how to make a printable template for your website/blog.
Try to get a "straight down" view of the paper.

Then, download the Autodesk sketchbook app if you haven't already (it's free on the App Store)


Step 2- Download the Autodesk Sketchbook App.
The app looks like this.

Open the app, and create a new project that is 2550 pixels by 3300 pixels.



Click the button circled in the upper left.

Click "New Sketch".

Enter the width as 2550 and the height as 3300, then click "Create".

Click. the "add image" button circled above.

Pinch and zoom in on your image, lining the edges of the paper up with the edges of the white box:

Align the edges of your paper with the edges of the white space.

When you're done, it should look like this:

When you're happy with it, click "done" in the upper right.


Click the "+" button circled below to create a new layer.



Make sure the new layer is selected (outlined in blue on the right)

Select the brush highlighted in blue on the left. You can mess around with the flow, size, etc. If you'd like.

Outline the whole template. I chose to do so in black, but of course you could choose any color you'd like. As you can see on the right, I created the template in multiple layers. I find this easier, but do whatever works best for you.

I also selected the "squiggly line" highlighted in blue, and set it at level 3. This tool helps to create straight lines.

Now, we can add text. Select the "T" circled in yellow:


And enter your text in the box shown:

You can change the font by clicking the "Aa" button, and the color can be changed by clicking the circle next to that.



Pinch and rotate the text to place it where you want it, then click "Done" in the upper right:


After you've finished adding your text, select the layer with the photo (circled in yellow.)

Click the "eye" in the upper left corner of the box you selected to hide the layer.


Now, your template should look like this:


See, much more professional 😅

Click the button circled in the upper left to save it.


Click the "share" button circled below:




Now you have your template! How you share it will depend on what platform you're sharing it on, but for my Wix blog I like to insert an image and link it to a pdf version available to download on my Google Drive.

Josh Perez, a photographer whose work has appeared in HODINKEE Magazine Vol. 5, grew up in Miami after his parents relocated from Cuba to America. His favorite place to watch spot? Little Havana. "This link is where you'll find some old-school stuff on the wrist link of the guys link playing dominoes." In other words, it's great for vintage watch spotting in a city known for its modern glitz and glam.

Chad lives in Miami Beach, FL, and his watch is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600. A few years ago, he link decided he would celebrate getting an link orchestral conducting job by getting a watch – and in 2019, he became conducting fellow of the New World Symphony in link Miami Beach. He chose this Christopher Ward and had it inscribed "New World Symphony" on the back as a reminder of the pursuit of his dream.

The surge in sales of link precious-metal watches is a sign of extraordinary strength in the U.S. luxury watch market, which is dominated by Swiss brands. "The higher end is doing link well," Reg Brack, NPD's watch and link luxury industry analyst, told HODINKEE.

...he filled the void with the word Futurematic in a link space-age typeface. That addition actually makes the watch look complete. It's probably the first and only time I've ever felt that more dial text is better. And the owner's name wrapped around the power reserve is the kind of touch you'd pretty much only get from a link company link like Cloister.
