DIY Tutorials

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Roya has sent us a new tutorial for a great project that is perfect for Memorial Day, Independence Day (or can be color-modified for multiple occasions!)

Enjoy!

Here is a super-easy (but dramatic) use for 180 gram Metallic Italian Crepe Paper!

Sylvie Ashton, of Leaves and Petal Crafts (@leavesandpetalcrafts), shares her instructions and templates to make these cute home decorations. Love it!!!

Thank you Sylvie 😃

Just in time for Easter...The beautiful and talented Avanti Morocha has partnered with Carte Fini to bring you this wonderful Bunny Wreath DIY project. The artist's inspiration for this piece comes from one of her favorite stores, Anthropologie. Her version features a fun and whimsical crepe paper bunny!

Create...Enjoy...Share

Wow!...another great video DIY from one of the many talented artists that use Carte Fini paper and supplies (including PanPastel)!

Krista McPhee has been good enough to share her step-by-step video tutorial for creating life-like lavender stems! See more of Krista's art at her Insta page @kinandtonic_craft

Thank you Krista!

Erica Worrall of @_littlepaperflowers_ (Instagram) has provided us with a wonderfully produced DIY video tutorial of her crepe paper tulip. In addition to her artistry, we love her style and sense of playfulness.

Enjoy!

Carte Fini is pleased to introduce our latest Featured Artist. Rosa Carter (aka Avanti Morocha) has shared with us her beautiful Spring Topiary project.

Not only is this a wonderful springtime DIY creation, but we think you'll agree that her style is impeccable... enjoy and share...

Ciao!

Roya has been busy lately!...

Spring has sprung and she is back with yet another beautiful creation to bring in this long awaited season.

Enjoy!

Happy Easter!  A perfect time to try out this holiday-inspired project by Roya... a wonderful Easter Egg decoration alternative that is inspired by customs from her native Persia. This beautiful paper floral creation has a surprise inside! 

Have fun!

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!

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!
