Paper Craft Kit
At a recent family gathering my step-brother’s wife, Nani, and I got crafty with Chronicle’s Paper Craft Kit, a super cute kit for making beautiful paper creations written by Sidd Murray-Clark.

The kit comes in a sturdy box with almost everything you need to make an array of fun things out of paper. The instructions are clear and easy to follow – it even recommends which of the stylish printed paper to use for which project. You can certainly choose your own paper if you like, but if you use the recommended style, the pattern is already printed on the back of the paper! All you need to do is cut it out and follow the instructions for assembly. The kit also includes templates or patterns for each project so you can make it again and again.
Nani decided to make the wallet (page 25). She was a little apprehensive at first, claiming to be “not crafty”, but you wouldn’t have known it once she got started. Her paper wallet turned out just perfectly! I wanted to try the paper box (page 49), which looked great for wrapping a sweet little gift inside. It was fun and easy to do -- a great instant-gratification project!
This kit is a great introduction to paper crafting -- especially since the last time I tried folding paper (following origami patterns) it ended in frustration (and probably a few choice words). I can’t wait to make that fantastic garland on page 37!
