Overview

Paper is a great, versatile material that every crafter should have on hand. Cut it, fold it, tear it, write on it, or even combine it with conductive ink in the Papercraft Contest! There are so many ways to utilize paper in your projects and we want to see what fun and unique ways you can come up with.

Let the paper speak to you, see what Instructables emerge, and you could end up winning an amazing prize from Silhouette including a Cameo 3, Curio, or Portrait paper cutting machine. Don't let the rectangular shape confine you; go beyond the edges and see what unfolds!

The new Paper Mache class can help you get started! Free to all Instructables members.
