This past weekend we attended a fantastic paper craft workshop with artist, illustrator and author Marilyn Scott-Waters of the award winning Toymaker website.
Remember these adorable paper dolls? They came from her site!
I’m excited to have discovered that the instructions for many of the fun projects we did in our class are also featured on her website, so you can do them too!
We made and decorated: fairy books, koi kites, mini books, and paper butterflies.
We even learned how to transform a single sheet of paper into a circle big enough to jump through! (More on that another time.)
Marilyn’s Toymaker website contains a wealth of other fun paper crafts. Check out her Hanukkah Crafts for a gelt box, menorah lighting activity, coloring pages, gift boxes, and more. There is also a fun filled Christmas Crafts page including beautifully illustrated gift cards, paper balls, boxes, and stars to print out and enjoy.
You can also find Marilyn’s affordable books at your local bookstore. She is the author of The Toymaker’s Workshop: Paper Toys You Can Make Yourself
Be sure to subscribe to her fantastic, FREE newsletter for monthly updates on new paper toy projects. We also highly recommend picking up her books, which feature punch out paper toys (no scissors involved!). We are hooked!
How fun for you and Miss Leyba to have this wkshp from an expert paper toy maker!! Her designs are lovely!!
