There are absolutely TONS of different kinds of paper crafts: origami, jewelry making, making flowers and wreaths, silhouettes, and on and on. Can you be more specific as to what you might have in mind?
If you are just looking for suggestions, try doing a web search for paper crafts. Once you have some that interest you, for many of them you can find "how to" videos on YouTube for making so many crafts, which I find very helpful when learning or considering a new craft.
Don't hesitate to ask more questions with regard to this, or a specific type of paper craft. Have fun!
Are you interested in quilling?
I recently learned quilling and love it. It’s not expensive to get started and it’s easy and soothing to do.
My paper craft of choice is decoupage because it can be so elegant, or whimsical, or utilitarian. Plus it is very inexpensive as the elements are all taken from magazines, cards, wallpaper, calendars etc. The first picture here is done by gluing each individual flower, insect, vase; face down on the glass. The second piece was done by gluing tissue pattern pieces on the plastic form and then adding the images from the pattern envelopes. Decoupage can be done on just about any surface (wood, glass, metal, paper (as in lampshades). You can do the cutting while watching t.v. And you end up with very individual, decorative or artistic pieces.
