Teach Yourself to Papercut by Mr. Yen Designs
The multi-talented, Jonathan Chapman of Mr. Yen Designs has just created a really cool ebook I'm excited to tell you about, called, "Teach Yourself To Papercut". The book teaches skills to create your own papercut designs, while also offering insider tips, tricks and techniques that he's learned and used over the past 6 years. There are two editions, the normal edition features three mini tutorials, one full tutorial, 19 pages of tips and tricks to create perfect papercuts and four printable templates and the deluxe edition - offers everything the normal version has to offer plus an extra final template to cut, four ideas on how to use papercuts for gift wrapping, four clever ways to frame your newly finished pieces and a page of resources for all things papercut related. Check out a few examples below: To accompany the ebook, there is also a flickr group that anyone who loves papercuts can join!
DIY Decor Idea: String Spheres
These string spheres are genius, I tell you. Pure genius for pennies. Wrap yarn/string around balloon. Spray with fabric stiffener. Pop balloon, and voila!
page corner bookmarks
This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM. I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads.
