Creative Paper Project Ideas Using Card Stock Paper


I love doing paper crafts of all kinds!

Because, they are easy, quick and there is an impressive selection of decorative papers to choose from. There are so many things you try doing with these decorative papers than just scrapbooking. This is what made me share my paper project ideas with you.

  ● Using patterned or decorative card stock paper, you can make wonderful gift boxes. You can do this by printing a template onto a sheet of pretty card stock paper, cut it out and assemble. Then use a scoring board to score and fold card stock into small gift boxes. You will also be in need of ruler to make straight edge gift boxes. In this way, you are ready with beautiful gift boxes that can be used to gift friends and family.

  ● You can also make notebooks or mini notebooks. Brighten up notebooks with plain card covers by gluing sheets of cardstock paper on top of them. You can embellish your notebooks with cardstock shapes, paint or draw your own design or use decorative stickers. These are fun and easy to make craft! You can also make mini notebooks by simply folding rectangular strips of cardstock in half, then arrange them in pile and then stitch them together down the central fold. Lastly, punch holes in the card stock and then you can use a colored ribbon to tie the pages together. 

  ● For children, who study ancient Egypt may be required to create sarcophagus out of cardstock paper for their projects. Working on this project will give students a better understanding about the way the ancient Egyptians were thinking. Completing this project is fairly easy and will help each student to reflect their own uniqueness.

I’ve been making gifts, papercraft toys and decorations all my life. I've assorted decorative cardstock paper and designs for unique crafts from school supplies online. You can also get these snazzy stuff by scouring for teacher school supplies online.
