Paper Projects

 

Paper is one of the most amazing of products. It has literally changed our world in so many different ways. And it is readily available and very cheap. You can do some amazing things with it and I have a whole set of projects that use paper (and/or cardboard) in many different and creative ways. Of course all of these projects are completely free and complete. If they need a template or design I have included it for you to download. And most of these projects also come with a video so you can watch and see how I made the project.
