I designed a couple of small PCBs using crepe tape and etch-resist transfers. Sometimes this was directly onto the copper, but usually it was onto acetate to be used with UV sensitive etch-resist. It was fun, but kind of a pain. Here's a very old (1966, before I was born) article giving instructions for how to do this: http://www.rfcafe.com/references/popular-electronics/etch-printed-circuit-boards-popular-electronics-march-1966.htm http://www.rfcafe.com/references/popular-electronics/etch-pr...
