Announcing the biggest, best, most innovative book ever on paper craft. Even better, this is not about how to use costly, artsy paper, but how to turn stuff around the house—magazines and shopping bags, candy wrappers and paint sample cards, wrapping paper, old maps, and paper towel tubes—into stunning jewelry, gifts, home decor, party favors, and much more. Chances are you’ve seen the author’s cutting-edge work in the windows of Anthropologie, where she is the chain’s merchandising manager. An inveterate crafter who creates projects and styles photo shoots for magazines like Parents and Vogue Knitting, Kayte Terry takes the most versatile of materials and the most basic of crafts (remember snipping valentines out of construction paper?), and creates something completely trans- formative. Turn a sheaf of any white or graph paper into an amazing Scrap Happy Globe Lantern for the dining room. Fashion colored tissue paper into Songbird Votives, leftover raffle tickets into a Prizewinning Bowl, that out-dated pile of holiday catalogs into a picture frame. There’s a necklace made of playing cards, a gum wrapper bracelet, and barrettes made by quilling—a paper technique that goes back to the Renaissance. Every project is photographed in full color, and includes step-by-step illustrations and instructions. Truly a book that shows how to think outside the (cardboard) box.

Paper is one of the most important innovations ever created. Curious readers will learn about the processes that trees and recycled materials undergo before paper products like printer paper, cardboard, and tissues reach homes and classrooms, as well as exciting new applications for paper and pulp. This book describes interesting concepts like the global supply chain and the relationship between paper mills, retailers, and consumers. It explains how population growth in China affects the demand for paper, and summarizes the economic forecast for paper manufacturers.

The ancient Chinese began making paper about 2,000 years ago. The basic process they created has been used throughout history. However, paper companies today use machines and can make a lot of paper at once instead of just one sheet at a time. Readers track papermaking from cutting down trees and making pulp with the wood to the final product we can use for writing. Full-color photographs show the papermaking process step by step, and an illustrated diagram simplifies it further for readers to review after reading the main content.
