Home, Paper, Scissor by Patricia Zapata

Paper crafts are quick and simple to create—most take just an hour or two to make and involve only simple cutting, folding, and gluing. Yet the outcomes are stunning. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Patricia Zapata incorporates earthy colors and sleek, organic style into projects that will have people asking, "Is that really made from paper?"

Divided into sections on decorating, entertaining, and gifting, the book features pieces ranging from lamps to bowls to keepsake boxes and journals. For anyone who’s striving to live a greener life, most of the more than 30 projects can be made from recycled materials such as brown bags, manila folders, magazines, and even junk mail.
