ABOUT PAPER CRAFTS



The art of working with paper comes in many different
forms as you will soon find out once you experiment with
the projects in this section.  Working with paper is an
endlessly creative craft and one that is undoubtedly truly
satisfying.  Besides, an added bonus is that it is also great
for the environment if you recycle old and used paper and
paper products.  This is definitely one of the highlights of
this website.

In recent years, paper recycling has become popular with
everyone as a way to help protect our environment by
reusing our resources and conserving landfill space.

The papers you can use come in many different weights,
textures, patterns and colours.  If you take a look around
your home, you will be amazed at the abundance of paper
varieties you can use to create delightful crafts.

Papercrafts range from origami and collage to papier mache
and decoupage.
