Make: Paper Inventions: Machines that Move, Drawings that Light Up, and Wearables and Structures You Can Cut, Fold, and Roll

Paper is amazing stuff. Its cheap, easy to use, and easy to recycle. Its lightweight and easy to cut or tear--but incredibly strong when folded, layered, or rolled. It can stand stiff as a board, pop up like a spring, or hang softly like a silk scarf. Its disposable, but it can last for centuries. Its surface can be rough, or creamy smooth, or shiny. Sometimes its so thin you can see through it other times, its thick enough to hold globs of paint. But it can also be beautiful, all on its own. The projects in Paper Inventions were inspired by the many different varieties of paper, from fancy artists watercolor paper to recycled copy paper, and the many different ways it is used. Whether you like to make crafts or play with electronics, theres a project that will challenge you and unleash your creativity.
