There are multiple uses for paper, but this cluster of papercraft creations explores the unique ways in which manuscript can be turned into artistic creations.
From papercraft men’s headdresses to anime papercrafts, this collection of 42 papercraft creations will get you thinking about your next art project!
Implications - Though paper has been used as an art medium for centuries, only now is it recognized as a modern go-to material for avant-garde art. This may be because of the mass eco consciousness of today's consumers, with papercraft pieces often boasting an element of upcycling. These delicate pieces also serve as a relief from the harder, more harsh art pieces from the past.
