Batik, marbling, tie-dying: there's an endless array of incredible and easy techniques to produce unusual, striking handmade papers. Better than anything found in a store, and lots of fun to do, these projects range from eye-catching and colorful abstract patterns to traditionally pretty florals. And, because they start with recycled materials, such as used computer paper and envelopes, they're also kind to the Earth! Turn plain cardboard shoeboxes into handsome storage containers with wallpaper paste and paint; they feature bright geometric designs and fresh apple-green, turquoise, and lavender coloring. Old napkins take new life as Christmas cards, gift paper, and tags. Texturize paper with fabric and thread designs to make a photograph album. Add zest to a room with spice-colored candle shades. Make pictures with vegetables and leaves, a food-colored paper to embellish a notebook, and a petal-and-leaf decoration for a stationery box, address book, and bookmark.

Decorative Papers Made Easy

Make sure your greeting card is the one that really catches the eye and takes the breath away! Any of these designs will stand out from the pack, thanks to original and clever techniques as varied as punched tin embellishments to painted foam decorations. And, even though these cards may look complicated, they really need only basic skills to complete. Wouldn't a child just love a birthday card with a cheery clown and cotton candy colored pom-poms? Nature lovers will cherish flora and fauna cards of handmade paper, raffia, twigs, and leaves. Add a dimension to your greetings with 3-D creations that have clear plastic windows with opening shutters; kittens, pots of flowers, vines, and filmy curtains are just some of the possible delightful additions. And, any occasion is right for giving a special someone miniature paintings on mosaic tiles or buttons. Each card is a beauty. A Selection of BOMC's Crafters Book Club.

Greeting Cards Made Easy
