Click through the gallery to see these sculpted paper accessories by Le Creative Sweatshop. Overwhelmingly delicate, these pieces are definitely intricate works of art. From being worn as scarves to cute heel structures, each design provides a brand new dimension to papercraft works.

Le Creative Sweatshop manages to create statuesque pieces using lightweight materials, generating a strong contrast which will intrigue its audience.

**Implications** - The beautiful and elegant sculptures feature animals such as dogs, bizarre facial masks and interesting arm attachments. Le Creative Sweatshop does an excellent job merging works of art and people together. The featured images are a treat for both the eyes and mind. It is hard to believe that the sculptures are actually made out of paper!
