DIY Papercut Lamp


In today's CRAFT video I answer a bragillion of your viewer questions asking if I made the white paper lamp in my living room. NOPE! It is by Dutch artist Tord Boontje, and was totally made with an electronic laser cutter. But I DID make these with my own 2 hands and in this video I show you how to as well!


Watch, like, share, and enjoy (I mean, if you want to).

Project Sneak Peek


Being home has been lovely and cuddly and cozy with all of the canine-appreciation that occurs post-trip-away. One highlight has been sitting on my new couch (it still feels like such a big treat) and looking at the 3D sculpture I made for my last CRAFT and MAKE video. I dig it. A lot. That makes the hours of work on the actual project, followed by hours and hours of uploading/editing/color-correcting/editing some more/exporting/up-loading all worth it.


Here is a sneak peek of tomorrow's video. Hint: modern + paper cut.
