Holiday Gift: A Paper Mac from CreativeTechs.

Note: This is an early edition from CreativeTechs' weekly tips newsletter. Browse the full collection of previous tips or sign up for a free subscription at www.creativetechs.com/tips.

Give a new computer to everyone on your holiday list this year. Some assembly (and a good exacto knife) will be required.

We've scoured the web for a variety of PDF templates that let you print-out and make your own paper Macintosh computer (the paper G5 is shown here).

Look through the list of available computers below. Each link will download a PDF. Print out on card stock for best results. Enjoy.

Note: These PDFs were compiled over many nights of Google searching. Many of the sites originally hosting these files are no longer up and running. We've compiled this collection from a wide variety of sources. Most PDFs include the creator's name in the layout. We apologize for any people we are not crediting properly.

[Source: This long quest was started by a short article on Wired.com. Sites included in our long hunt include: theapplecollection.com, Paper Craft Design, and many others. The iPod stand was created by Piers Morgan and comes from a hint from Julie Jennings at Brass-Key Keepsakes. Finally, the PowerMac G5 template was tracked down through some impressive sleuthing by Kurt Jones at Milliman. Thanks everyone! Happy holidays.]
