Paper can do what handmade works

Crafts that can be made with paper include: traditional paper sculptures, 3D no-cut three-dimensional paper sculptures, Taiwan paper vine flowers, three-dimensional carvings, paper lace, paper packaging, origami, diffractive paper, and paper crafts vignettes.

Paper art is very old, from the papyrus flakes in the Nile Valley of Ancient Egypt in 3000 BC to the plant fiber "paper" in China during the Western Han Dynasty to the paper invented by Cai Lun papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty in a clear sense.

From the Oriental flat or three-dimensional paper-cutting, origami, and paper zhang (colored lanterns, kites, huamen, paper zhang of Ming ware, paper zhang of opera characters, etc.) to the Western two-dimensional or multi-dimensional silhouettes, paper collages, paper compositions, paper sculptures, paper installations, papier-maché art, and practical paper art (paper toys, paper furniture, etc.).

From the vernacular paper art of folk artists to the modern paper art of Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, Expressionism and the Bauhaus, the lineage is long and continuous.

Paper art has become very popular in countries all over the world in the past few years, and the reason for this is that apart from the fact that paper materials are cheap and easy to come by, the plasticity of paper itself is also quite high, making it an excellent material for art creation. DIY paper art is making people of all ages and genders as intoxicated as children.

When some ordinary paper is transformed into flying butterflies, blossoming flowers, and cute fashion figurines in our hands, the mood becomes unimaginably exquisite. In the process, a picture, a set of paper wind chimes, a handful of flowers, will easily become the most jumping embellishment at home.
