Create a DIY-wallet with PDF
About a year ago, the MAKE website began distributing sample PDF-based eBooks via Apple’s iTunes service, testing its viability for commercial, small-scale publishing.
Published quarterly by O’Reilly and available in both print and digital editions, MAKE describes itself as a “new hybrid magazine/book” — aka a “mook” — that in each issue “celebrates your right to tweak, hack and bend any technology to your own will.” It includes do-it-yourself projects that range from the clearly useful to others that scream ‘for-geeks-only.’
Falling somewhere between those two endpoints is MAKE’s latest PDF-based project delivered through a free subscription to the site’s podcast, including a video for iPod viewing: Illustrated instructions detailing how to “Make a Wallet Out of [Gaffer or Duct] Tape.”
For those who take up this or any of its other techno-crafts challenges, MAKE invites people to upload and share images of their creations on flickr.
