Sometimes you stumble across something that simply stops you in your tracks. These 11 paper creations have taken our breath away - and now we want to share them with you!
1. Paper towns
Warm up for this summer's Olympics with a paper Rio de Janeiro. You might have to get a few friends to help you out, but it'll be worth it!
2. Liberty love
Team Papercrafter popped into Liberty recently, and we couldn't help but to stop and admire their beautiful supplies on the 3rd floor. Why not craft your own decs with their adorable paper prints?
3. I've got to break free
Channel your inner rockstar and awe at these mini Queen lookalikes. We think American artist Jeff Nishinaka did Freddie Mercury (and his 'tache) proud!
4. Fairytale castle
This intricate papercraft castle is called 'Umi no Ue no Oshiro', which translates as 'A Castle on the Ocean'. Currently being exhibited in Japan, it took four years to create and includes lights and a moving train.
5. Paper-ific
There is no other word for this paper pompom chandelier – it just makes us very happy!
6. Rolled wreath
Turn literature into papercraft love with this classic wreath, perfect as a gift for a bookworm friend. It's so neat and crisp, we can't quite take our eyes off it.
9. Fascinating flowers
This modern tiara will be all the rage at the races this summer. We love the range of techniques displayed here: fabulous flowers, a delicate veil and a lot of structuring!
10. Black swan
With the origami trend set to soar this year, have lots of fun trying out different shapes. Whip up these elegant swans, and why not even make paper posies to go in them? Try our tutorial!
11. Dutch courage
We can't quite stop marvelling at this amazing coat of arms from the Netherlands. Click through to see how it was made. You won't believe it!
