94 Paper Art Projects

From Pricey Origami to Folded Fashion Faces

— August 12, 2012 — Eco
These paper art projects show that paper is more than just a blank page to write on. Paper has done a lot for artists over the years, but often times artists put their art on paper, rather than making their art out of paper. These paper projects show how paper itself can be used to create stunning artwork and awesome gadgets.

Artists have made paper furniture that you can use in your home, replicas of Star Wars characters and fake burgers to enjoy (with your eyes, not your mouth.) Paper art projects are a reminder that sometimes the things one takes for granted as everyday objects can be the most interesting when you give them a chance.
