DIY Tutorials

As a fun diversion from crepe paper flowers, take a look at this DIY project brought to us by Yang Liu from Shanghai 1984. Here she shows us how to create striking and realistic looking Sheng Jian Bao... the street food bun native to her home. Thank you, Yang Liu!

Amity Beane has generously provided this DIY tutorial for her whimsical paper flower crown. Natural materials like birch and fir stems are utilized as well as DIY created crepe paper flowers!

This tutorial concentrates on the creation of the crown itself. You may of course use whatever paper flowers that you choose. The actual crepe paper flowers shown can be created from Amitys "Winter Whites" online course which can be found here!

Enjoy!

Learn how to make Christmas ornaments. Although the title of this tutorial is Christmas Ornaments, you can use these ornaments for any decoration. Lets get started. 
Here are the items you need:
* Your choice of high quality Carte Fini 180 gram Italian crepe paper. I have used:

Here is another great DIY project from Avanti Morocha. This time she has brought us a wonderful holiday centerpiece idea using our new collection of 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!... all ready to adorn the holiday table or mantle!

Holiday Greetings to All!!

We received this seasonal video tutorial from Inga Ilze Peterson (Instagram: @ingailzepeterson). Here she shows step by step instruction for creating a pumpkin with Italian 180g crepe paper from Carte Fini.

This adorable paper pumpkin is a perfect tabletop, mantle or entryway decoration for Halloween, Thanksgiving and other fall themed holidays or events.

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!
