Creative Beading

does anyone know of a site with free clipart to do craft projects with, painting, woodburning, etc.?

I am completely computer illiterate and don’t know how to get to different sites without spending a day of it and I would like to know if anyone has some sites that have clipart that has borders, animals, flowers and such that you can print off the computer and do crafts. I do beading, woodburning, jewelry and such, can anyone help or have anything that could be scanned and copied?, thanks.

Well, what you want to do is to do what is called a google image search. I’ve added the link below which will do this for you. When you go to that page, scroll through to see if there is anything you like. There is a “next” link at the bottom to see more matching images.

If you want to search for something more specific (for instance “flower”), type that after the “clip-art free” text in the search box at the top (so it looks like “clip-art free flower” in the search box, sans quotes), then press the “search” button.

Once you see an image that is the basically what you want, click on that picture. This will bring you to a page that has the image on top, and the page it came from on bottom. Just above the border which separates the top section from the bottom, there is a link to the actual page.

This should get you closer to what you want. You will need to get information on how to download or print items from that page.
