Papercrafts Around the World

It's unbelievable - the same ordinary pieces of paper used for homework, letters and shopping lists can become fun-filled Mexican pinatas (decorated sweet jars), shining Chinese lanterns, wind-spinners from Ecuador, and other great multi-cultural crafts.

Over 80 absorbing projects from French frills and English paper beads to Japanese dolls and Indonesian shadow puppets, will bring a festive air to wherever they are displayed. Make beautifully marbled papers just like Persians did long ago; Like snowflakes, no two Swedish sunbursts look alike; Make German interlocking bells as Christmas decorations; Dangle American washboard cats for Halloween; Make an Irish St.
