DIY Tutorials

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
