papercrafting Archives - One Two Tree

If you’re looking for a more personal touch to your Christmas decorations and ornaments, look no further than Minieco! At http://www.minieco.co.uk you’ll find loads of cute and colourful creations to craft out of paper card.

After much deliberation, we decided on trying our luck at the Cut-And-Fold Paper Stars. We chose a pearlescent cream card, downloaded the free template and got to it.

You will need:

– Cutting mat
– Scissors
– Blade
– Ruler
– Hole punch
– Adhesive
– Paint brush
– Minieco template printed on the paper of your choice
– String

Step 1. Carefully cut out each template
Step 2. Using the ruler as a guide, gently score along each line
Step 3. Fold along each line that you have just scored
Step 4. Punch a hole at the indicated spot in the middle of the template
Step 5. Cut a piece of string about 30cm long, loop through the hole and tie a small knot on the inside of the star
Step 6. Brush on a small amount of adhesive to each of the smaller tabs and stick together (it may be a little bit easier to stick one tab at a time)
Step 7. Decorate your OneTwoTree Christmas tree!

Happy crafting!

We can’t take full credit for these beautiful paper medallions. We discovered them on the amazing website http://www.minieco.co.uk filled with so much paper crafting eye candy. You can easily spend hours perusing over all of the many DIY creations.

The medallions looked like an achievable start for me. I downloaded the free template and printed it on some coloured paper purchased from my local office supply store. I spent a good afternoon and evening cutting, folding and sewing together these beautiful little flowers.

Minieco has step by step directions and lists everything you will need to make them! She also provides you with templates to all of her many craft creations.

We made about 25 flowers and stuck them to our One Two Tree with blue-tak. You can easily tie little ribbons or string to the flowers and hang them in a spiral formation.

I hope our pictures inspire you. Happy paper crafting.
