Five Unusual Paper Art Tutorials from the Sitcom!

I enjoy paper art for many reasons.  Paper is easily manipulated and can be made into an unlimited number of things.  It can be colorful and as I’m sure you know, I do love color.  But the most impressive thing I find about paper is that it is cheap!  The tightwad inside me just loves that fact!

So, I decided to put together a few of my more popular paper art posts for you.  Ranging from incredibly simple to the not as simple, these tutorials show you how to create beauty from a simple piece of paper!

Created from colorful cardstock, these Quilled Topiaries will brighten up any table!  Yes, the flowers take some time to make, and yes, you have to make a bunch of them, but look at the color!  And money-wise, this project was less than $10 to complete.  Just in time to bring in Spring!
