I’ve done some experimentation with printing on tissue paper to produce these designs.

You can cut tissue to 8.5×11 then use a glue stick to attach it to 8.5×11″ photocopy paper. You then run it through a color ink jet printer. You just need a little bit of glue on the edges otherwise you won’t be able to separate the tissue. Mind you if you only put it at the very edge you can cut around the edge to release it. Remove the tissue from the photocopy paper as soon as you print it so the glue doesn’t dry.

For the design you can use any graphics package but I like InkScape since it’s free. You can download it and run it in Windows or Linux.

Here are a few designs that I’ve made over the past couple of years.

If you’d like to try and print on tissue here is a Squirrel Template.

Any design ideas out there?
