Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plain white paper -- it's one of the most common materials around your home, yet there's no end to the exciting and creative possibilities; just let this leading paper sculptor show how. All you need are scissors, glue, paper and five simple techniques: cut, fold, curl, bend and score. Most of the projects are based on four simple shapes: cylinders, cubes, cones and strips. From these elementary beginnings come 16 basic project types -- finger-puppet people and animals, rectangular lanterns and containers, colorful birds, basic house designs, a fantastic, fiery dragon's head and more than ten others. For holiday celebrations make tree, table and mantel decorations. Templates are featured for every piece of every project, so all you have to do is lay the paper down on them and trace the lines.
