My PA, (and good friend) Andy is a DIY queen and is forever ‘crafting’ up a storm when boredom sets in. To tell you the truth, I do get a little nervous when I know she has a few spare minutes as I know she is about to whip up some creation and have no where to put it! So when she saw the Paper Sculpture that Alex did on Selling Houses Australia she was almost frothing at the mouth waiting for the instructions.
With in an hour of getting the instructions she sent me her pics, and I am not exaggerating! So here is her take on the paper sculpture, brought to you from……
ANDY’S CRAFTY CORNER
“I found some half inch grid wire I had lying around…. (me; yes she has everything!)
an old book and drew the shape I wanted from a dinner plate
onto the wire with a sharpie pen
cut the wire into the shape I wanted (a circle) used the stanley knife & ripped the pages from the book
and started putting them into the wire
then i tried to staple the paper from the back together (this was unsuccessful) so i ended up just rolling & poking them through
Then I discovered that I didn’t have enough paper from the old book left to do an entire circle
So i cut the wire off into a sort of rectangular shape , put a bit of wire for a hook, and voila….instant wall hanging thingy !!”
In under an hour I think this is pretty great so I asked her to hang it on the wall and send me a pic. This is the response:
“well, when I hung it up all the cones fell out so now I think it will be a great table sculpture, but the biggest issue the dust.
But then, I don’t dust”
Does anyone else have their version of the paper sculpture? Success or failures are great to share.
