  Paper is the most versatile craft material, simple to use, easily available and relatively inexpensive. The range of papers available today is enormously wide and includes rag papers from India, gold-flecked sheets from Japan and sugar-cane paper from Brazil. Andrea Maflin's simple yet imaginative projects, which include wrapping paper and cards, personalized stationery, boxes, trays, lampshades and clocks, should enable readers to turn some of these papers into colourful works of art, simply by using pull-out templates and following the instructions.
