Every week a member of the PaperCrafter team tells you about their favourite image found on photo sharing site Pinterest. Today, Editor Ella Johnston tells us why she adores paper-make magician Mini Eco
I regularly peruse Pinterest for inspiration on a wealth of topics, particularly craft and home styling. I almost always end up repinning something from Mini Eco – one my favourite blogs. I pinned this pic above as I love how simplicity of the concertina fan rosettes project is made magical and quite desirable by the subtle, on-trend styling.
Curated and written by Bristol based designer Kate Lilley, the Mini Eco blog is packed with bright and colourful projects that crafters will love. The photography and styling is fab, which is quite a feat when shoot paper-based items. Her colour combinations are always really well chosen, providing the crafter with an instant creative solution. Talking of solutions, she also provides easy step-by-steps and free downloadable templates on the blog. Check out more projects below (all images copyright Mini Eco) and visit minieco.co.uk
