How to Make a Printable in Google Slides

I’ve been making printables a long time. I remember using WordPerfect on our giant PC as a kid to make fun things for my little brother and I. (We even made a Star Wars newspaper.) And I’ve been making all sorts of them professionally for over 10 years – papercrafts, workbooks, planners, and so many others.

When I took a survey last year, a lot of you expressed interest in learning how to make printables. I know it can be a little intimidating if you haven’t made a printable before. And some people think you need fancy, expensive programs to design them – but that’s definitely not true!

I’ll show you had to whip up a printable using a free tool in about 5 minutes:

Now, this is a super basic printable, but you can use these same principles to create more detailed ones.

You can also have the free template of the one I create in the video (plus a bonus graphic organizer).

Once you’ve signed up, I’ll email you the template! To use it for yourself, just click File > Make a Copy > Entire Presentation and it will add it to your own Google Drive account.

Feel free to print them to use them, or even tweak them to create your own! I’d love to see what you come up with.

Happy creating!
