Beginning with a brief history of paper and how it functions as an interior design element, the book goes on to provide directions for 20 eclectic objects that are inspiring, beautiful, and chic. With simple, straightforward instructions, The Paper Home shows even those who have never worked with paper before how to create stunning objets d’art. Whether it’s a side table made from carved foam board or a clock made from corrugated cardboard, these three-dimensional projects will change the way crafters approach home decor.
