Cool Things to Do with Paper – The Listed Home

Want to see some cool things to do with paper? My papercraft section could give you some inspiration.

You’ll find everything from papercut art to Cricut projects in these blog posts. From paper banners and decorative paper circle fans. There are so many fun things to do with paper; lots of easy, perfect craft ideas for the home.

And  best of all, a lot of them don’t need papercut machines — like Silhouette or Cricut; you can print and cut them by hand!

I started creating papercuts back in 2013 — by hand initially. Since that very first attempt, I’ve made lots of personalised wedding papercuts for brides and grooms. If you don’t want to try your hand at making one, you can buy one from my shop.

As well as cool things to do with paper that you can make, you’ll also find ideas for bought paper decorations. My paper pom pom decorated staircase is a real hit and has been replicated many times.

If you like crafting with paper and have some more ideas that you’d like to share, please get in touch! I’d love to hear from you! :)
