Paper: Printable Projects, Free Clip Art, and What Can I Do With It?

Katar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:15:55 +0000

Paper is awesome. No seriously. You can do anything with paper. I mean.. it may not hold as well as metal or anything like that, but it’s still possible. That was such a lame opening. I am so sorry. I’m not so good at openings, eh?

Um.. well, here are some fun paper links that I’ve collected.Whether you’ve got fancy schmancy card stock, old magazines, old books, scraps, construction paper, newspaper, or you name it, there’s so much you can do!

If you haven’t seen it already, please check out my other posts: Books No One Wants: What Can I Do With Them? Blank Notebooks, What Can I Do With Them? and Paper Bags: What Can I Do With Them? because those, of course, involve paper. Of course, there are misc. paper items involved in other posts, so if you’re really hardcore, you can just search for the term ‘paper’ and find a bunch o’ other stuff!

As I find more links and tutorials, I just add them to this post. Really, none of my posts are complete. I’m ALWAYS adding when I find new links if they fit under the post’s subject! Enjoi!
