Ocean Inspired Paper Crafts

3/2/2021

 
Picture
​For the next Fold-it-Friday event, we will head off to an imaginary ocean and fold a seahorse and shell to create an undersea scene. You can create a fun-themed greeting card or picture to hang on your wall with the folded models.
All you need is a couple of sheets of six-inch square paper for the sea horses and a sheet or two of three-inch square pieces for the shells.
Have some watercolors and watercolor greeting card stock or paper handy for creating a fun background for your folded sea creatures!

See you Friday!

This fun class starts on Friday, March 5th, at 2 pm MST. Be sure to register to have some folding fun with us! You can register by clicking right here.

Messages from the heart

We continue to celebrate love for our February live Fold-it Friday events with an adorable heart-shaped message holder that serves as a chopstick or brush rest. To make these fun-loving paper messages, you will need a sheet of paper cut 3" x 6". Double-sided paper is preferable, but not necessary. You can always color your paper on one side with markers, inks, stamps, sprays, or paints. You will also need plain white paper, and a pen or rubber stamps to write your messages.
