Paper crafts

Paper projects to make at home

Fold a bookmark from a scrap

A scrap of card can become a gift tag, and a square of paper can mark a favourite page. In the workshop you’ll find materials, measurements and instructions to finish each project.

One box, four finishes

Slide through the photographs to see how a different fold or fastening can change the look of the same box.

Box lined with layered sheets — Translucent layers
Line the inside with two sheets in different colours. Offset the first by a couple of centimetres so that a narrow strip shows along the edge.

Neat folds along the edge of a box — Accordion folds
Fold a strip into a concertina and slip it under the gift. The folds lend height to the arrangement even in a shallow box.

Ribbon tied around the box — A ribbon closure
Run the ribbon underneath the base before closing the lid. Adjust the knot so the bow can be untied without tearing the wrapping.

Gift box with a paper flower on its lid — A flower on the lid
Tie the flower at its centre and tuck the thread under the ribbon. The recipient can lift it off in one piece and keep it with the card.

Workshop notes

Press the crease with your fingertip, then run the edge of a ruler along the card.

On folding

Test your ink on a scrap first. Let the line dry before you close the card.

On writing

Try the bow before cutting the ribbon. You’ll see exactly how far the ends will fall.

On wrapping
