Papercrafts have as strong and loyal a following as ever, and with Home, Paper, Scissors, paper devotees can now create a beautiful collection of projects to accent their homes and to give as gifts.

They’re quick and simple to create—most take just an hour or two to make and involve only simple cutting, folding, and gluing. Yet the outcomes are stunning. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Zapata incorporates earthy colors and sleek, organic style into projects that will have people asking, "Is that really made from paper?"

Divided into sections on decorating, entertaining, and gifting, the book features pieces ranging from lamps to bowls to keepsake boxes and journals. For anyone who’s striving to live a greener life, most of the more than 30 projects can be made from recycled materials such as brown bags, manila folders, magazines, and even junk mail.

Pick your paper, grab a pair of scissors, and get started folding your way toward a one-of-a-kind home accessory or handmade gift!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly simple and inviting.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2010

    With beautiful photography, easy-to-follow directions, and materials specifically selected to be accessible and found around the home, Home, Paper, Scissors is a great paper crafting manual. Many of the projects are simple and inviting enough to share with my young children, while others, though more challenging, result in stunning and sophisticated finished pieces that belie their common materials composition.

    As a paper crafter myself, one of the aspects I like best about Zapata's book is the invitation to vary the materials and design of so many of the projects. Because most of the ideas are so beautifully basic, they can easily be added to or tweaked to create different looks and more complicated designs. Zapata, herself, offers many suggestions and tips for customizing the projects, allowing for different aesthetics and uses.

    Fans of Zapata's blog, A Little Hut, will appreciate the stripped down, modern style of these projects, as well as Zapata's clear and pleasant descriptions. It's beautiful as a coffee table book, accessible as a crafting guide, and inspiring as an artist's portfolio. I highly recommend this book.

    This book was okay. Didn't care for all of the crafts. Only liked a select few. However, the photos were good and the instructions were understandable.

    I am a self taught artist. I was sold after seeing the cover picture and it just got better when I opened and started looking at the amazing art projects. This book is filled with wonderful projects, that you can expand on if you want to. Most of the wonderful projects stand on there own. The author has explained every thing, including needed materials. The photos and directions are excellent. I recommend the book to anyone who has a passion for paper or art.

    I was sad that trees were actually wasted on this book, which trickled down somehow from the superfluity of crafty blogland.
