Paper-Craft Tips
  1. To add a spectacular effect to your tissue paper flowers, dip the petal edges in white glue, then in glitter.
  2. Add texture and interest to your picture collage with objects such as beads, plant materials, or whatever strikes your fancy.
  3. If your collage arrangement is elaborate, lay it out before gluing until you’re satisfied, then snap a picture before disassembling.
  4. Jo started off her group with simple origami, using regular origami paper. Heavier weight papers can be used for wet folding, and foil-backed paper is recommended for more complex projects. You might also want to try “moneygami,” origami using paper money!
