The art of DIY papercrafts aren’t just limited to origami, although this ancient art of folding is certainly considered a papercraft. Whereas origami typically doesn’t involve any type of adhesive, papercrafts rely on glue and tape to keep their forms intact.
As we segue from gloomy winter to rainy spring, these DIY papercraft projects are perfect for a quiet indoor project. Many of these kits can be printed from your home computer; the artwork you create is only limited to your imagination--and your supply of printer ink and printer paper.
