What Do You Do With All These Sheets of Paper?

At Two Hands Paperie we hear this question every day. When new customers discover our paper room we usually find them excited, and sometimes overwhelmed, as they look over our hundreds of sheets of decorative paper.That is when we usually hear the question: “What do people do with this paper?

For us, the answer can be daunting- because there is
so much you can do with it! We keep a list of possibilities on hand in the store and are always happy to talk about new ideas. Here is a short list of possibilities: make a book, make cards and invitations, cover a lampshade, collage, make origami, scrapbook, wrap a present, line drawers, or frame it and hang it on the wall. Some recent discussions with customers have added the following to the list: use it as photography backdrops, make paper ornaments, decoupage glass Christmas bulbs and pink flamingos, cover watering cans, line the inside of a ceramic lamp, hide the clutter in glass-front cabinets (a popular use), or cover the glass in a door.

The possibilities really are endless and only limited by the imagination. Stop in and look over our decorative sheet papers and let us know what you will do with yours.
