In the Animal Crossing games, you've always been allowed to design your own clothes, signs, carpets, and posters.

In the 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf, however, there's even an option for those of us without any artistic talent.

With the new QR code reader, found in The Able Sisters shop, you can immediately import textures and textiles from other, more talented villagers.

The creator of iOS app QR MyDesign Assistant has borrowed this handy new feature to help you turn any photograph or image into an Animal Crossing-compatible code. Here's how to use it in a few easy steps.

Hat tip to Tiny Cartridge for finding the app.
