Printable templates for your creative paper cuts – designed by Louise Helmersen
The design of these figures was made by Louise Helmersen. They are intended for many good hours of entertainment, and creative thoughts that give the paper "new life". You can work with many kinds of paper - both what we offer here on the site - but recycled paper, wallpaper or book pages from old books can also be used. All paper forms can be given new life if they are modified and turned into ornaments and mobiles. And then you also get more fun out of it.
Enjoy.
Best regards, Louise
Helpful Tips for Working with DIY Templates
When working with paper crafts, it’s essential to have a clear idea of what you want to create. That’s why using a printed template or sketch is a great starting point.
Set Up Your Workspace
Make sure you have plenty of room—especially if you’ll be folding or assembling larger projects. A spacious table gives you room to maneuver your materials and keep your tools within easy reach.
If you're working on a long-term project, consider using a tray to store your supplies. That way, you can easily put everything away and pick up where you left off.
Essential Materials & Tools for DIY Paper Projects
- Paper – Choose high-quality paper from your local craft store or repurpose everyday paper and cardboard.
- Cutting Mat – Available in various sizes to suit your needs.
- Precision Knife – A craft knife or scalpel for detailed cutting—handle with care!
- Scissors – A sharp paper-cutting scissor is a must. A small scissor works well for fine details, while a larger one is great for cutting bigger sheets.
- Metal-Edged Ruler – Ensures precise cuts without damaging the ruler.
- Bookbinding Glue – The best adhesive for paper projects.
- Thread & String – Perfect for binding or adding decorative touches.
- Needles – Have a variety of sizes to match your thread or string.
- Hole Punch – Ideal for making precise holes. A standard hole puncher works in a pinch but may lack accuracy.
- Stapler – Useful for quickly securing paper together.
- Tape & Double-Sided Tape – A handy alternative if you don’t have bookbinding glue.
- Pencils, Markers & Paints – Great for adding labels, notes, or decorative elements to your creations.
With the right tools and a well-organized workspace, you’re all set to bring your DIY paper projects to life!
