3-d Papercraft

3-d papercraft projects (or paper art projects) are everywhere these days. They are a lot of fun to make and the variety and uses for these items is endless! Paper can be made into three dimensional items so easily if you have a good plan and are capable of a few deft folds. Don't be afraid to experiment too and discover your own versions of off the page stunners.

"PaperCraftCentral is
such a fun site!"

 


Graduation favours


I have a few little projects in mind to show you here and will be adding to this page as I discover more ways to make things. Here are some ideas to get you going:

  • Make a Chocolate Favor Box for Valentines Day or for any other special occasion - weddings, birthdays, thank you gifts etc

     3-d papercraft, off the page designs, paper art

  • Last minute Easy Chocolate Puddings are lovely little Christmas treats to make and dress in paper and cellophane, even if you aren't a cook!

    An easy chocolate pudding, all ready to be packaged!

  • Make a customised Decorative Box when you want to impress someone with a special gift.


    A handmade decorative gift box is always memorable

  • Here's a Paper Wallet to make as an alternative to a wedding card or to dress up any other event you wish in a 3-d papercraft way.

  • Make some small Chocolate Party Favors to dress up the tables at your next event, or simply to give to someone who needs a little lift:

  • Try making a special Footlocker to hold a graduation card for a military event.

  • On the theme of gratitude, how about making some Hard Candy Thank You Favours for a wedding or birthday party?

  • Or make an Artificial Topiary Trees, (like the one on my home page) in your wedding colours

    Make this Topiary Tree

    Here are some more ideas to try:

  • Candy Bar Favors
    Make something out of a whole chocolate bar!
  • Decorating Candles
    You can really personalise a candle this way.
  • Decorating Tins
    Some tins are able to live again with this special treatment.
  • Explosion Box Album
    Make a real impression with a box full of photos for a special someone.
  • Gift Boxes
    Who doesn't need a special gift box at some stage or other?
  • A Blessing Box
    Show someone how thankful you are to have them as a friend and encourage them to be thankful too.
  • Paper Butterflies and how to use them for a party
  • Paper Roses
    These look wonderful on scrapbook pages and cards.
  • Paper Balls
    They could be used as Christmas decorations or to add some charm to any event or room.
  • Paper Chains
    These look great as decorations or as special items on a gift box.
