We are filling up our spring craft resources with Easy PAPER CRAFTS!! Eagle eyed Tedsters will have recently spotted our Paper Flower resource page and Paper Bunny resource page. We direct you to all our favourite paper crafts by topic on this one super handy Paper Crafts page.

Be sure to bookmark it and come back over time! As we love paper so much, I have also dedicated my new book to PAPER… easy Paper Crafts you can make at home without any special bits and bobs. Hope you love it as much as I do! But I digress.
