Make Something Just for Fun

What would you make if the only aim were to enjoy yourself?

Start there today.

Pull out a few scraps and give yourself permission to be a little curious, a little silly, or much more colorful than usual.

Try an unexpected combination. Make something smaller than you’ve ever made it before. Put a cheerful surprise behind a flap.

You may discover a detail you want to use again. You may end up with a tiny paper oddity that lives on your shelf because it makes you laugh.

There’s room for both in a creative life. It’s good to have things around that remind us making can be fun.
