Make: Paper Inventions, 2nd Edition - Print

Paper is incredible stuff. It's easy to cut, but amazingly strong. It's disposable, but can last for centuries. It can stand as stiff as a board, pop up like a spring, or float like a leaf. And its invention changed the world forever.

Perfect for kids, parents, and educators, Make: Paper Inventions is a project-based book with full-color illustrations, step-by-step instructions, supply lists, and templates that enable you to follow along with the book or devise something entirely new. Each chapter features new projects that will challenge and intrigue, from beginners to experienced makers.

Learn the history of papermaking and how to use simple STEAM principles to make fun and creative paper inventions of your very own!
