DIY Tutorials

Thanksgiving is pretty much right around the corner... time to prepare!

And "Thanks" to Roya, we have a lovely centerpiece DIY project that you can create to adorn the holiday table. Our wonderful paper artist has indicated specific colors in her tutorial but you may want to try your own variations using our new seasonal "Fall/Winter Collection" of Autumn colors. 

Create...Enjoy...Share

Ciao!

Nevia Ortiz of @NeviNinaYCreations show us her easy (and useful) technique for Laminating Italian Metallic Crepe Paper with a series of video tutorials. The resultant "double-sided" sheets allow crepe paper artists to then create with their own custom pieces... the variations are tremendous!

Thank you, Nevia!

We received this seasonal video tutorial from Inga Ilze Peterson (Instagram: @ingailzepeterson). Learn how to make a pumpkin with Italian 180g crepe paper from Carte Fini.

The pumpkin made in the video tutorial uses papers in Peach 17A/5 and Mint Green 565. Try making one with Candy Corn Nuance 576/9 or other color combinations for a stunning holiday pumpkin display!... enjoy.

Thanks Inga!

Can we ever have enough Valentine's Day projects? Nope!

Dana Tezanos-Pinto of @TheFloweringTable shares her her wonderful and unique tutorial that lends itself well to this romantic holiday. Truth be told though, we can see this DIY as a launching pad for year-around variations using varying colors and materials.

Here's a great idea and fun project for all of you crepe paper flower artists and crafters! @KellyPastorek walks us through her DIY project that uses all of those crepe paper "scraps" that you inevitably are left with after every project! Follow along as Kelly shows you her technique using these scraps and a bit of Mod Podge to create her decorative "Stained Glass" Hearts just in time for Valentines Day.

Thank you Kelly!
