Braille Making
Instructions-Things you'll need: Braille labeler, writer or embosser
Borrow or purchase a Braille labeler. If you plan on making a lot of Braille signs in the future, it might be wise to purchase a Braille labeler. If you only need to make a Braille sign one or a few times, it might be best to borrow one from someone you know.
Make the label. The Braille labeler's wheel contains Braille and print letters and numbers on it so that both people who can and cannot read Braille can use it. Spin the wheel so the first letter of the word you're trying to make is centered on the label tape. Squeeze the handle of the labeler in order to put the letter onto the tape. Follow these instructions for each letter until you've made the word you want to make with the labeler
Tear the finished label off from the Braille labeler and place it on the print sign or other surface you want the Braille sign to appear, such as a restroom sign, a room number sign or a mailbox.
For signs that are more than a few words, find someone who owns a Braille writer and knows how to write on it. If you live in a major city, you may want to post an ad on Craigslist offering to pay someone with a Braille writer to make a sign for you.
Make your sign. You will need Braille paper or a piece of thin poster board on which to write the Braille sign. Dictate to the individual who knows Braille what you want the sign to say. He or she can use the Braille writer to type it for you.
Put the sign up where you want it to appear. Remember to put it where a person can reach the sign with his or her fingers so that he or she can read the Braille on the page.
Alternatively, make a sign on your computer using a word processor. Remember, images and visual details do not translate into Braille and do not really matter to people who read it.
Locate a Braille embosser. Check your local library to see if it happens to have one for public use. Major cities are most likely to have Braille embossers in their facilities. Alternatively, post an ad on Craigslist asking people if they have a Braille embosser, and if so, if they wouldn't mind printing out a sign you made on your computer in Braille for you.
Braille the sign using the Braille embosser. If you located a Braille embosser at your local library, ask the librarian how to use it. If someone from Craigslist offered to Braille the sign for you with the embosser, he or she will know how to use it and will probably do it for you.
Put the sign up in your desired location, remembering to put it where it can be reached and read by visually impaired and blind individuals.

Appendix B
Flip Book Making
Instructions
Things You'll Need: paper glue
Scissors Pen or pencil
Glue or staples
Cut several pieces of paper to match the size of the flip book you want to make. Your flip book can be any size, but the ideal size is around 3"x5". It will be easier to handle at that size.
Draw the first illustration on the first page of your flip book. It can be anything you want it to be, but you should keep it very simple for your first flip book, especially if you're new to drawing. Keep your drawings as close to the upper right-hand corner or right side of your flip book edge paper as possible.
Draw the same image on the next page, altering it slightly to reflect the action you want in your flip book. If you're drawing something as simple as a character running, the first drawing might show your character standing still, while the next drawing would be basically the same drawing, except your character may have one foot raised slightly off the ground.
Add as many pages to your flip book as you want, altering each page to illustrate the next action in your flip book animation. The more slight variations you have in your drawing, the more detailed your animation will be when you "flip" the pages. Check your pages as you add new drawings so you can see the progression as you go, which helps you see how your drawing alterations are going.
Do a run-through when you finish the flip book. Stack your pages in order, first drawing to last, and flip through them quickly. The drawings viewed this way will show the animation you've created. If you like what you have, it's time to bind the flip book. You can do this by gluing or stapling the left edge of your flip book.
