Q: Best way to cut curves with paper crafts?
I just started building paper-craft projects, and I can't seem to cut curves smoothly. I use xacto knives on a piece of thick plastic to cut. Is there a better way to cut curves so they look smoother?

Q: What is the best glue to use in working with paper crafts?

The firm I work for produces thousands of sheets of scrap paper from making dividing sheets for our files. I'd like to give the paper to an organization that can use it for arts & crafts or scribble paper. Do you know of any organizations that will take it?

Q: Anyone here do / interested in paper crafts?
I like paper cutting,it's called "jian zhi" in chinese and it is popular in china. Would like to try some other paper crafts from all around the world.and would like to share my arts too.

A: I'm a lover of all kinds of paper crafts. Germany has a paper cutting craft called schirrenschritte (I hope I spelled that correctly) which involves some very complicated cutting of paper to achieve extraordinary designs. There is another craft that involves cutting, rolling and curling to create shapes such as flowers, dragons and other objects that is really fun, too. You can share your crafts on Crafters Across America on HGTV they are always looking for crafters who do unusual crafts they haven't presented before in the cities they are visiting and in which they are filming.
