There are so many different things you can make with paper and Papercraft, by Marie Claire has over 50 designs that will have you folding, cutting, sticking and weaving like an expert.
Including crafts for a variety of occasions, there are many beautiful and innovative ideas that you can make at home, such as Stationery Bags for organizing all of your crafty bits and pieces, cut outs for Festive Windows, and decoupage boxes covered in money, which are a great way to use up foreign change when you come back from holiday.
I particularly liked the lights section, which included tutorials for gorgeous Newsprint Lanterns and a papercraft Candelabra. This book will help you discover a new world of possibilities and give paper a whole other dimension.
You can pick up a copy of the book from Quadrille now.
