+
+This directory contains a `CMakeLists.txt`, which can be selected to open as a 
+project within your preferred IDE. From there, all nested examples can be built,
+debugged, and ran.
+
+The plugin examples will need to be installed for Qt Designer integration to work.
+On Linux, Qt Designer looks under `/some/path/to/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/lib/Qt/plugins/designer/`.
+On windows or Mac, this path may differ. Unfortunately I don't have these machines to test for myself.
+
+```bash
+cd klips/cpp/qt/designer-plugin-collection
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. && cmake --build . --target install
+```
+
+After installing the plugin collection example above, we can open Qt Creator and navigate to the Designer.
+We should see the custom collection is available within the Designer, and the contents of the widgets render correctly in the application view.
