Paper Joy for Every Room: 15 Fun Projects to Add Decorating Charm to Your Home

Crafter Farion, of the popular @papierpapierpapier Instagram handle, presents in this appealing resource some of her designs for crafting tiny dioramas, models, and toys out of colored paper. Her experience as an art teacher shows in the way she provides helpful assistance, including clear photos and easy-to-follow instructions, for crafting novices to study before beginning their first project. Though some of the projects may initially seem complicated, “it’s easy,” Farion writes, “as long as you like paper cutting” and are armed with scissors, a ruler, tracing paper, and some glue. The three-dimensional projects include a flower wreath, a llama mobile, a very realistic-looking vintage Polaroid camera, and a palm-tree lamp. Serious paper cutting artists will love working on the swimming pool diorama that includes striped beach chairs and a little floating inner tube in the “pool,” while parents might do some of the easier projects with their children, such as a “lunar decoration” mobile. Crafters looking for a new activity will be delighted. (Oct.)
