Summary

Old notebooks, discarded postcards purchased from a flea market, sheaves of sheet music, yellowed newspapers with foreign language text: Anna Corba knows how to turn these vintage papers into fantastic contemporary fans, decorated glassware, party favors, and more. This up-and-coming designer presents her beautiful projects here, with detailed instructions, charming color photos, and tips to help imaginative crafters develop their own personal style. Her techniques for transforming the paper range from tea-dying to laying down a final layer of beeswax on a collage. Make collage bottles; embellish plain cardboard boxes with paint and vintage trading cards; or create decorative paper cones to hold flowers, small candy, or trinkets. With a sheet of paper, everything is possible.
