Paper

Nifty gifts that celebrate the versatility of paper

Even though environmentalists clamor for a reduction in paper, there’s no denying that the material has provided an almost endless array of uses, and art is no exception. Some recycle paper to create interesting new works, while others will simply create paper out of other substances to add to the novelty of such a product. Some of the items shown here reflect a move towards repurposing, others were crafted from handmade paper, such as those using Korean and Japanese disciplines. Regardless of their origins, they not only make for eye-catching gifts, but unlike other paper products, you’re not likely to throw any of these away.
