Finally the brutal Winter is receding and Spring is forthcoming! The most hopeful season will bring us beautiful flowers, bright colors, warm sunshine, and the glorious smell of Spring. This time of the year inspires us to break out the mops and the brooms, donate our old belongings to charity, and fill a clean vase with fresh flowers. The aesthetic of Spring stimulates our creativity, encouraging floral prints, pastel colors, and fresh looks to crop up in our crafts and decor. You are going to love these cool paper craft ideas!

5 Cool Paper Craft Ideas

Make this year’s Spring cleaning about reusing old things instead of throwing them out. You won’t believe what you can do with just a little imagination! These paper crafting ideas are so fun and cute. Just click the link that introduces each craft to see the full craft tutorial.

Recycled Paper Butterflies

If you are like me, you have a huge box of magazines under your bed that you’ve convinced yourself you will someday use in some sort of crafting venture. Today is your lucky day! Turn the colorful glossy pages into colorful butterfly decor. You can use a little tape or sticky tack to affix your creations to the walls or wherever you’d like. I’m sure you will think of something. See the full tutorial at atomicshrimp.com

Woven Paper Place Mat

Want more craft ideas with paper? For those of you who choose paper over plastic, this is a lovely way to recycle your grocery bags. Use a weaving technique to create fun new texturized placemats for spring. This craft requires a little glue, a little paint, and a little gloss to seal it all up. Choose your favorite color and go wild. Brown Bag Place Mat

Homemade Newspaper Gift Bags

Gift bags have always felt like money down the drain to me. You spend anywhere from $2-$15 on an adorable bag for your present and it inevitably ends up in the trash after it’s opened. Instead of wasting money on a bag with a short-lived purpose, recycle your daily newspaper by creating these adorable gift bags. There is no shortage of style when you choose to wrap presents the economically ecologically friendly way. Newspaper Gift Bags

Paper Flowers Craft

Sometimes paper flowers in a glass vase can be as pretty as real flowers and require a lot less upkeep. Not to mention, you can customize the flowers’ colors in whichever fashion you’d like. These instructions tell you to use colored card stock for flower-making, but I encourage you to branch out for repurposing purposes (Ha!) and use magazine covers, or old construction paper. Get creative and match the flowers to your own unique motif. Paper Flowers

Paper Hoop Earrings

Recycled paper crafts aren’t exclusively for decor or gift wrap. You can also use recycled paper in jewelry making. Save some money on gems and jewels and instead spend a little time to make a fabulous one of a kind pair of earrings that will surely turn heads. Recycled Magazine Pages Earrings

    Great Ideas. I pinned this. I will have the boys for two whole days this week and we need a few projects. The butterfly paper craft will be perfect.
