Paper Crafting Kits from Helen Hiebert

Helen Hiebert, paper maker, artist, and author (Playing with Pop-Ups is her newest book) recently launched a line of high quality paper crafting kits [edit: no longer available] and will be sending a kit of choice to two U.S. commenters. Each kit would be an ideal project to make prior to the holidays as the results are decor and gift-worthy, not to mention crafty family members and friends would enjoy receiving kits to make on their own during long winter evenings.

Window Star Paper Craft Kit - Helen Hiebert

The Window Star Kit comes with enough kite paper to make ten light-catching stars in assorted colors to brighten your windows. They require simple folds and a bit of glue. This project is for ages 8 and up.

Star Lantern Paper Craft Kit  - Helen Hiebert

There are three Shadow Lantern Kits to choose from and each is beautiful... Star Lantern, Celtic Knot, and Snowflake.

Celtic Knot Lantern Paper Craft Kit - Helen Hiebert

Use a craft knife to cut the design on card stock and back each piece with translucent paper. Balsa wood and paper hinges provide structure and a tea light placed inside casts a shadow. This project is for ages 15 and up.

Snowflake Lantern Paper Craft Kit - Helen Hiebert

The Shadow Ornament Kit was inspired by Japanese shoji screens that divide living spaces while adding to their ambiance. It features a pre-punched design. This project is for ages 10 and up.

The Envelope Folding Screen Kit utilizes paper cutting and bamboo skewer/paper piano hinges that flex both ways. This makes it possible to not only use the screen as an eye-catching display object with a light source placed behind it, but also as a four-sided lantern.

Decorative paper is slipped inside each envelope. This project is for ages 13 and up.

Unique supplies and text/diagram instructions are included... I love the convenience of kits!

The Interchangeable Ring Kit features a simple origami fold that results in a 3D vellum topper held in place by a slim magnet on a metal ring base. This project is for ages 10 and up.

Helen will be sending a kit of choice to two winners in the U.S. Just choose your favorite and name it in your comment as your entry through Sunday, November 16, 2014 (visit the kit page [edit: no longer available] to learn more about each one). Be sure to include an email address within your comment so I can contact you, as Blogger does not allow me to see the top portion of the form.

  49. And I like the folding envelope screen with those piano hinges that fold either way and can connect to become a lantern. Plus the bucket party light that could be done in different sizes and with silhouettes pasted on randomly to make interesting patterns. For my deck on summer nights. Thanks, Helen!.

  52. Love the Envelope Folding Screen Kit! I really like the idea that you can use items you have at home to make this screen and stick a non-flammable tea-light behind it and you are in the romance business! And if you make it into a lantern you could wire it up top to hang some place and at the bottom to support a tea-light. Talk about ambiance without burning down the house!!
