Christmas crafts Home decorations Papercrafter Techniques
Issue 65 of PaperCrafter was our Christmas extravaganza, which included a fantastic wreath that our in-house Corinne Bradd devised to see in the season. It’s the perfect project for using up odd scraps of papers or alternatively, showing off your favourite ones!
