Summary

With a wide range of papermaking techniques and over 50 designs, this book provides all the ideas and inspiration necessary to get started making paper or crafting with paper. Beginning with an extensive section on treating handmade paper, The Complete Book of Papercraft goes on to show how to make different types of paper by incorporating rose petals, leaves, grass or even onion skins, and man-made materials, such as candy wrappers, glitter, newspaper, or dyes and paint. The project sections which follow include stationery and gift-wrap ideas, greeting cards and invitations, as well as decoupage and paper manipulating (the art of weaving, cutting, and folding). From the basics of papermaking and creating different types of handmade paper to a wide range of imaginative paper projects, this, book will be an invaluable resource and guide for all papercrafters for years to come.
