Who this is for

Written for adult beginners

First-time folders, adults returning to paper craft and anyone who has previously found diagrams confusing.

Most projects begin with paper and a clean, flat working surface. Individual projects may suggest a ruler, pencil, cutting tool, adhesive or hanging materials.

Please notePaper edges can cut, and some exercises suggest a cutting tool. Work carefully, on an appropriate cutting surface, and keep blades away from children.

Honest expectationsThis guide teaches technique through practice. Early folds will be uneven, and nothing here is presented as a shortcut around that.

Safety & materials

Simple projects, sensible care.

Paper craft is gentle work, but nothing here is presented as risk-free.

Hands and toolsPaper edges can cut. Use scissors or a craft knife carefully and on an appropriate cutting surface.
ChildrenThe guides are written for adult beginners. Children need responsible adult supervision, especially around cutting tools, cords and small components.
Hanging piecesKeep cords and hanging mobiles away from cots, young children, pets, flames, heaters and wet areas.
Paper and foodPaper objects are flammable, and decorative paper containers are not automatically food-safe: only use paper specifically confirmed as suitable for direct food contact.
