Happy Holidays: Santa Claus Papercraft Toy


A warm wish for your winter holiday from all the happy forest folk today. This little paper Santa Claus model (found via Photojojo) might just be the perfect little activity after all the prezzies are opened. (There are Helper Elves there too!)

Paper Artist Yasutaka Matsumoto

I came across the paper art of Yasutaka Matsumoto today and figured since it's practically Christmas I'd share a couple of his Santas. Be sure to check out the rest of his amazing work at his site here.

Creaturekebab papertoys

Here are some fun papertoys I came across today. They were created by artist Jennifer Bryan and are being released on month at a time on her site Creaturekebab. Highly enjoyable!

Holiday Village Project


Collage artist Claudine Hellmuth has posted a fun little paper project on her blog. This simple holiday village can be created by anyone with the tools and a little bit of time. It is a cute holiday decoration that is easy on the pocketbook this year! It would also make a nice handmade gift that is thoughtful and inexpensive! See the instructions on Claudine's blog.

While visiting the blog, you'll also see that Claudine makes really fun custom artwork as well.
