1. You see I needed...scratch that....wanted to buy a KopyKake projector that all my cookie hero's use. But I'd been hemming and hawing (yes it is a real expression) over purchasing one because they were a tad on the expensive side.
2. I needed a KopyKake projector by this past Sunday to do a logo.
3. I realized I needed a projector Friday afternoon.
4. There was no way I was going to be able to purchase one on-line without paying a ridiculous amount on top of a crazy amount of shipping.
5. So I did what anyone else would do...I frantically began my search around town for a drawing projector. Thinking it would work.
WRONG.
I digress. I actually tried to use an old drawing projector that my mother had given me that I think probably came from my grandmothers house.
It didn't work. I couldn't make the image small enough....not to mention I wasn't about to decorate or let alone even bake a cookie that was 12 inches x 12 inches to fit the smallest visible image this sucker was projecting.
So I shopped around...bought...and then returned a lot of projectors.
Then in desperationI went to google. And worked the computer like crazy.
And finally....FINALLY...something popped up.
I was at the point that I was willing to try anything.
So I bought myself a 3M MP225 Mobile Projector. Rolls off the tongue doesn't it?!
Why that model? Well it claimed to hook up to ipads and iphones and ipod touches - all of which we had at our house. And it was small.
Which makes it incredibly easy to store.
So I hauled off to Target and bought one.
It's white....and yes I know it's hard to see below.
This I think gives you a better idea....
But you say, how will you project onto a cookie?
Why by using my handy dandy tripod that my husband got me for Christmas. It's not for just taking pictures anymore.
So I hooked it up to my iphone - got a picture of the logo I needed from off the UNO Athletics website and away I went.
And it works pretty darn nifty.
I will say it's not cheap. As in $229.09 not cheap. Not at all. It's almost as expensive as a KopyKake. However....it was readily available at my local Target (other stores carry it too...that was just where I went) and as I reasoned to my husband it's easy to store because it's so small.
Remember, I could put it into my purse it's so small.
So for that somewhat splurge purchase I'm actually very very happy.
What can I trace next?
(Note: 3M did not ask me to write this review, nor do they even know I exist. I stumbled upon this on my own and thought I'd share).
