Paper craft is the collection of
art forms employing
paper or
card as the primary
artistic medium for the creation of three-dimensional objects. It is the most widely used material in arts and crafts. It lends itself to a wide range of techniques, as it can for instance be folded, cut, glued, molded, stitched, or layered.
Papermaking by hand is also an important paper craft.
Painting and
calligraphy though they are commonly applied as decoration are normally considered as separate arts or crafts.
