Creative Paper Projects

Written by loose ends designer and frequent television guest Sandi Reinke

“You guys do such cool (and strange) stuff, why don’t you write a book?” Well, we did.

Our first loose ends, book, CREATIVE PAPER PROJECTS, written by Sandi Reinke, is packed full of all kinds of fabulous things you can do with paper. We’re not talking memory books, or handmade cards here, we’re talking beach party with fish plates, we’re talking fantasy chairs and an art deco clock, we’re talking romantic accoutrements and lemonade socials.

Packed full with 55 DIY art/craft projects, she couldn't resist also recording the stories that just naturally seemed to emerge as the projects took shape (you know what we mean if you’ve read through the loose ends catalogue), so you will get instructions (for your left brain), ideas and inspiration (for your right brain) and bits and snippets of her mental meanderings for your general amusement.

Ok, want a signed copy? Although the book will be available in the usual places, loose ends will have a limited number of copies available also, and you can only get an autographed copy here. Order online ($19.95) and Sandi will sign and personalize the book to you or whoever you specify (please keep message to 20 words or less to save my fingers for future projects).

So, if fantasy and paper are your thing, order your book now, because signed copies just don’t hang around forever!

#101 “Surface Application
of
Paper and Organic Textiles”

Learn our basic techniques that we use for surface decoration and various types of papers and specialty textiles. We explore and define the different varieties of papers, including Project Paper, Handmade Papers and Tissues. We also take a look at the number of unusual organic textiles, including Linen Bark, Pulp Netting and Pulp Lace. Rather than any specific project, this 45 minute video focuses on raw materials and our general techniques and applications that can be used in an endless variety of creative ways. And, of course, we have LOTS of finished projects and ideas to get you going!

Introduction: “Basic Materials”

Art and Sandi explain the characteristics of a variety of papers and raw organic textiles, and demonstrate “distressing”.


Segment One: “Glue & Drape”

Probably our most frequently used and certainly most cost effective way of applying paper and other materials to a variety of surfaces.


Segment Two: “Wallpaper Paste”

What type to use and when is this the adhesive of choice. Differences in the finished effect depending on adhesive choice.

 

 


Segment Three: “Liquid Laminate”

Special characteristics of this adhesive and specific results obtainable only with this adhesive choice.
