Papercrafts

Transfer paper is used to transfer an image from a picture to another object.

The transferred image comes out with a clear or partially clear background.

Easy. Just make one half on one paper and the other on the other piece. Then connect.

the longest paper chain was made by 60 people in 24 hours at alvin community college in alvin, texas, u.s.a, on october 23-24, 1998. it consisted of 584,000 links and measured 51.8 miles long!

As far back as the 12th century, Chinese peasants were creating paper cutouts in vivid colors to decorate windows, lanterns, gift boxes and other objects. This Chinese practice and expertise with scissors is thought to have come from Eastern Siberia, where cutout felt figures and designs were decorating objects in the tombs of Siberian nomads. During the 18th and 19th centuries this art form flourished throughout Europe. It even infiltrated the court of Louis XV. Ladies with an artistic bent snipped away at pictures and pasted them onto hatboxes, wig stands, fire screens and toiletry objects, keeping themselves amused for hours. The works of Boucher, Watteau, Fragonard, Redoute, Pillement and many other distinguished artists came to this sticky end. Many magnificent examples of fine cutting, coloring and design can still be found today on bureaus, chiffoniers, armoires and similar pieces of furniture.

Which type of quilling are you asking about? There are 2 types. One is paper quilling (also known as paper filigree) and is an art form that uses paper strips.

The other is Native American quilling which is an art from using the quills from a porcupine to decorate clothing and objects.

Paper Quilling is believed to be discovered by nuns during the 1500's to replicate expensive metal filigree. They used stirp cut from gilded books and coild then on quills from geese or ducks hence the name quilling. It has experienced many re-births and presently is being used all over the world. Quilling now has several professional guilds and is recognized as an art form rather then a craft by those who appreciate the skill and beauty of quilling.

If you want to learn about quilling, there are tons of online resources and many online quilling groups. Use your search engine to find them.

I'm afraid I know little about the history of Native American Quilling. Hopefully someone else can answer this.

A pentagram is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes.

First of all you're gonna need a solid rectangular base the size of your face such as the lid of a lunchbox (that's what I used). Then you'll need to cover that in papier mâché. Make it kinda thick so as to conceal the base. Leave it to dry and afterwards you can put a hole on the sides that cover the sides of your face. Put a strong thread or string through them that can support it on your head. Cut pieces of cardboard in arch shapes to cover it behind your head. You can the put in the bottom and middle holes with black marker while making the top holes by cutting out. If you want you can put a kind of see-through, black material on inside (I found thin cloth to be very helpful).

that's kinda of a vague question. do you mean the paper?how it looks when its done?

White craft glue (such as Elmer's) plus water - about half and half, though I like to put a little less water. Put in a jar, cap, shake until well mixed. For a bit of gloss, add a squirt or two of Liquetex Satin Varnish (acrylic).

it depends on what you are doing a light and thin paper can be used for orgami you can find in japan

It's depending on the size really, I'm answering from a large scale. I think what I would do is make a basic shape from mesh and stuff it with news paper and secure it with ties. then cover it with strips of newspaper dipped in glue until it's all covered then build it up with papier mache, adding detail (scales, eyes, ears etc...) Then when it's dry paint it in your desired colours and what not :)

You can get Chao papercrafts on a website called Chao Laboratory

No. But if you go to your local fabric store you can find some products that you can hand wash the tapa cloth with that act as a preservative. Make sure you select one that can be used on your cloth - the incorrect one can damage it

AND THIS IS TRUE STUFF!!! :)

Add more paper mache. If the paper mache is too heavy and you can't create the right sized breasts for your taste, then you should build a stronger base using chicken wire. It all depends on how big you want them. If they are larger than a small trash can, then you should probably go to Lowes and buy some wood and large gauged wire to support the breast material.

pointilism

Burgundy is a form of the color red. In order to make it burgundy you would mix tiny amounts of dark blue in it. If you would like it to be even darker, after adding the dark blue and a little black.

To make this paper mache paste, you need 1 part flour to about 5 parts water. Start out by putting 4 parts water into a pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, mix 1 part flour to 1 part warm water. Beat this mixture briskly to remove lumps. Once your pot of water is boiling, slowly stir in the water and flour mixture. Mix well and let it boil for 2 - 3 minutes. It should be smooth and have the constancy of thick glue. If necessary, you can add more water or flour in small amounts until you get the desired consistency.

You find an old-fashioned bookbinder. Many places still do this, but not easy to find.

Yes, you can make a hole in a single 8 x 11 sheet that is big enough for anyone to walk through. What you will do is turn the sheet into a very long, thin strip that makes a loop. If you are careful, you can do this without using any tape to form the loop.

Begin by making a hole very close to the edge, about 1/3 inch or 1 cm in, and making a long cut the same distance in from the edge. Stop before you reach the end of the sheet, turn sideways and cut similarly close to this paper edge, almost to the other side. Now you have a long L-shaped cut that forms a narrow strip along two sides outside the cut. From this point you will cut the remaining large part of the sheet. Go to the outside near the end of the L-cut, move about 1/3 inch along the uncut portion, and cut in from the outside, parallel to your existing cut. This is extending your long strip. Stop before you reach your original cut. Start a new cut from that cut about 1/3 inch along, head back toward the outside of the sheet. Stop before you get there.

You can see that if you continue to make alternating cuts from the outside, then from the inside cut, you turn your whole sheet into a long strip and the hole becomes increasingly large. Soon you can let it dangle and walk through.

There is another version (with illustrations) at the related link below.

Yes, a scanner is like a copy machine. If it is on the paper, it will be copied into the digital image. You may use photo editing software to remove any marks or flaws that you do not wish to keep.

• On a piece of cardboard draw and cut out a heart the size you want it to be.
• Use longish strips of stiff card and tape it round the edge of the heart shape until its shaped like a heart all the way round.
• Paper mache it with PVA glue and water and newspaper then paint it the colour you want.
