Creating teacher resources from home is a simple process!
I'm not going to deny that if you have access to a large school printer, laminator, and paper cutter that your projects won't be easier - because they will - but a personal printer, laminator, and paper cutter are great tools for home projects! I currently use the HP Envy Photo 7855 All in One Photo Printer (as seen in the picture) alongside the HP Instant Ink Subscription Service."Instead of paying to buy a new cartridge, you pay a monthly amount to be allowed to print a certain amount of pages." HP Instant Ink is alerted when you need new cartridges and sends them automatically. At first, I didn't like to make monthly payments for printer ink, but when I realized it was so much more cost effective and easier than having to buy ink, I became a believer! I also use the Amazon Basics 12-inch Thermal Laminator Machine (as seen in the picture). You can choose to order the Amazon Basics Clear Thermal Laminating Plastic Paper Sheets alongside the laminating machine. These sheets are stronger and much more durable than school laminating sheets. Now, if you are laminating from home, you'll most likely also need a paper cutter to help with your projects. I love the Swingline Paper Trimmer, Guillotine Paper Cutter (as seen in the picture) from Amazon! It has been reliable and very handy, especially for cutting and trimming laminated photos and card-stock. I love that is has a wooden base, a metal arm, and steel blade.
Using a personal printer, laminator, and paper cutter means that your projects take longer, since you obviously can't create in bulk, but the products turn out very sturdy and more professional looking. I use them to create ALL of my (Photo) Picture Cards that I sell on TPT!
