When it comes to creativity, the imagination can lend itself to limitless possibilities. While many make their art on paper, you can also make it with it, and we aren't just talking about origami. Graphic designer and now author Patricia Zapata knows this well and just released her first book called HOME, PAPER, SCISSORS: Decorative Paper Accessories for the Home. In it, she shows how to take paper with some simple folding, cutting, and gluing to make stunning pieces of art.

The book has more than 30 projects inside ranging from bowls, to keepsakes, to even lamps in this 'crafty' book of paper. Some projects include a magazine bowl using recycled magazine and phone book pages, a pocket photobook album, and more. She even shows how to make these pieces with recycled materials, for the more environmentally conscious.

Given the wide variety of paper colors, textures, and thickness, this new book may be a great way to explore hidden creativity. So if you are looking for a great, simple way to express yourself and a way to support a local talent, pick up a copy of Kingwood's own HOME, PAPER, SCISSORS book for some inspiration.

Patricia Zapata is a graphic designer and paper artist that has been featured on HGTV's That's Clever and inCraft Magazine. Wall art and other paper-made art can be purchased on her site, ALittleHut.com.
