About this ebook

Paper artist and teacher Helen Hiebert compiles a one-of-a-kind collection of 40 unique projects, each using just one sheet of paper.

"Inspiration abounds, whether you are new to the world of paper or have worked—or simply played—with it for years." —Ann Martin, author of All Things Paper

Combining decorative paper techniques like marbling, stamping, and stenciling with dimensional techniques like origami, cutting, folding, quilling, stretching, weaving, and pop-ups, The Art of Papercraft offers a rich variety of projects that will delight crafters, artists, and designers alike, including:

  • Paper votive lights
  • Pop-up cards
  • Folded paper gift boxes and envelopes
  • Woven paper wall hangings
  • Miniature one-sheet books
  • and much more!

Every project is beautifully photographed and accompanied by step-by-step visual instructions. Guidance on selecting tools, materials, and paper selection; in-depth technique instructions; and profiles of contributing paper artists make this a rich and practical celebration of papercraft.

The Art of Papercraft by Helen Hiebert Unique One-Sheet Projects Using Origami, Weaving, Quilling, Pop-Up, and Other Inventive Techniques Fascinating, informative, and inspiring – this book reminded me of a trip with my father to watch master papermakers demonstrate how they made paper. It also reminded me of my children’s science classes in school when paper was one of their projects. It also reminded me of pop-up books my mother bought and that I later made for my granddaughters. I learned information I had not heard before and would love to have this book in my library. What I would like to try making: * The pop-up alphabet * The sailboat envelope * Some of the cards * A kite with my granddaughters * Some of the origami projects * And more What I liked: * The photographs & illustrations * Historical information * The directions – easy to follow * The information on techniques and tools * The variety of papers included * The artists and their creations Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I buy it for myself or someone else? Definitely Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
