PAPERCRAFT

Apiece of paper is a hidden treasure: it looks simple, but can make almost anything. In this special section, folk singer Phranc turns unwanted cardboard into objects of desire (page ⁴²), you can make magazines into beaded jewelry (page ⁴⁷), and computational origami master Robert Lang morphs a few bucks into a priceless blossom (page ⁵⁰). Pop-up can make any day a holiday (page ⁵⁵), and, believe it or not, trash is easily turned into festive gift wrap ( page ⁵⁸). And making a flexagon? Now that’s a magic trick (page ⁶²).
