DIY Tutorials

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!

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!

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!

Take a lookout this wonderful crepe paper poinsettia tutorial from Abbi Kirsten. The flowers are gorgeous, of course, but you may even choose to take this further by accessing Abbi's Makerfest Garland tutorial!

Use our great  METALLIC crepe paper and make these poinsettias extra special this year. 

Enjoy this great DIY project from Avanti Morocha. A wonderful holiday centerpiece idea using our 60 gram crepe paper.  It works extremely well with this project since this paper is lighter than conventional 180-gram crepe paper with grain that is far more subtle. Arranged in a rustic box - add a few pinecones and ornaments and voila! The holidays can come!

 

Take a look at these whimsical crepe paper gnomes. Johanna Oliver of @black_tree_designs (Instagram) shows us, step-by-step, how to create these cute lil' guys in her video tutorial.

"... You can make them any size you want and they’ll make beautiful gift tags, place settings, tree ornaments or to decorate your mantle..."

Watch a great technique to add gorgeous watercolor enhancement to your crepe paper flowers.

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!

 

When you want to take a break from paper flowers, here is a video tutorial from Susan Bonn that demonstrates her crepe paper artichokes. Susan originally created this project as a Thanksgiving Centerpiece DIY. However, we agree with Susan that these little cuties can be crafted and enjoyed year around.

Check out this stunning Crepe Paper Rose Chandelier created by our featured paper artist, Roya!

 

Take a look at this fun and beautiful Halloween pumpkin embellishment from Ka Kei (Instagram: @khakigami). Her step-by-step tutorial (with detailed pics!) describes who to make gerberas, roses, rose buds and leaves!

Great inspiration for Thanksgiving as well!...
Thank you Ka Kei!!!
