Getting Into Papercraft

[Raymond]

Getting started with papercrafting can be as basic or complicated as you want it to be. Just some of the wider applications which are covered under the umbrella term "papercraft" include scrapbooking, rubber stamping, card making, decoupage, paper maché and origami (art sculptures made by folding paper).
If you are new to the hobby, as with anything else it is best to start with basic projects to build up confidence and enthusiasm. Instead of starting with a free-flow idea, which can result in you simply sitting and staring at a pile of paper while wondering what in the world to do with it, you might want to start with a kit which will guide you through the steps to make a particular project. This will help give you a sense of direction as well as familiarising you with some of the common techniques used to craft things in the hobby, rather than simply casting you adrift in unfamiliar territory.
