"Sticx" by Ginette Lapalme via Of Paper and Things
I came across this cool photo entitled “sticx” by Ginette Lapalme on the Of Paper and Things blog–one of my favorites. What a cool idea! I love how this concept gives a wooden stick (beautiful as it naturally is) a shock of color, transforming it into a cool decorative piece. This would be a great childrens craft idea for the younger ones as well!

Newspaper Basketweave by Metal &Thread. Photo by Flickr member Lisa Carbonell
I absolutely love this recycled newsprint basket by Metal and Thread out of Brooklyn, NY. What a beautiful example of artistry using reclaimed materials. These would be the perfect baskets to keep samples of all the letterpress cards and invitations that I collect throughout the year! Check out more of Metal and Thread from their online store or blog.

Japanese artist Maeda Baku turns tape into origami present toppers. Such a cute idea and perfect for that added touch to make your gift special! This would be so fun to try with all the pretty new tapes that are coming out lately too!

Lokta Medallions
August 23rd, 2010
Haru’s paper mobiles are made from medallions of Lokta paper from Nepal. I adore the accent of the little heart at the end of the string! These would be beautiful outdoor decor too.

Ice Cream Cone Balloons by Martha Stewart
I think these ice cream cone balloons by Martha Stewart’s Craft Department are such a sweet idea for a child’s birthday party! Another great example of how paper can make every day objects extraordinary!
