DIY Tutorials

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!

Roya Heshmaty of Roya's Creationshas shared her beautiful, giant crepe paper peony with us... Just in time for Valentine's Day!

It is such a wonderful feeling to celebrate "LOVE". Roya is so glad to bring you the joy of making a beautiful giant peony for the one you love. Have fun!

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..."

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!

@annachedid of Flores da Annita has brought us this fun, seasonal project. Take a look at at her video tutorial as she walks her through the creation of these whimsical trees... perfect for your holiday decorating. Cheers!

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!

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!

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!
