38 craft ideas with paper strips in an ornate look

One of the best materials for crafting is paper. One could even say that in most cases it is unavoidable, at least as a basis. And since you usually have enough of it on hand, this makes numerous creative projects possible. We would like to introduce you to a particularly interesting variant of crafting. These are twisted strips of paper from which you can create romantic and very attractive designs. These paper craft ideas are not only suitable for decorating your own home, but can also be used wonderfully as a gift. Greetings cards can also be wonderfully decorated with ornate leaves and give every piece of craft a special look.

We have put together some inspiring examples of this type of decoration below. In addition to monochrome images and figures, you can also create unique pieces by combining colors or even theattractive ombre lookas is the case with the Phoenix above. Try out your favorite motif right away and then, if you want, come up with something of your own. Have fun implementing these ideas.

The paper strips can be cut to size yourself or purchased ready-made and can be of any width. The screwing itself is done in a variety of ways and depends entirely on what you like best and find easiest. On the one hand, you can easily “curl” the strips by hand. Another variation is to use a comb to wrap the blade around the teeth. You are also welcome to come up with your own aid. There are also special tools available at the craft store. The strip is then glued together and shaped with your fingers as needed. The finished figures can then either be hung or glued to a sheet to create pretty pictures.
