Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys paper making, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that could enhance her interest and creativity in this art form. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Paper Making Kit: A paper making kit would be an excellent gift for encouraging her passion. Look for a comprehensive kit that includes all the necessary tools and materials, such as a deckle, mould, screens, and various fibers. This will allow her to experiment with different techniques and create custom-made paper.

2. Handmade Paper Journal: If she enjoys both journaling and paper making, consider gifting her a handmade paper journal. You could either purchase one from a local craft fair or create a personalized journal yourself using her own handmade paper as the pages. It would be a unique and sentimental gift that combines her love for paper making and writing.

3. Paper Making Workshop: Look for local art studios or community centers that offer paper making workshops or classes. Enroll your granddaughter in a session or gift her a voucher so she can learn from experienced artists, share her ideas with fellow enthusiasts, and further develop her skills in paper making.

4. Specialty Paper Supplies: Help fuel your granddaughter's love for paper making by acquiring specialty paper supplies. Look for unique and diverse fibers such as flower petals, dried leaves, or cotton linters. Adding these materials to her collection will allow her to experiment and create stunning, one-of-a-kind papers.

5. Paper Sculpture Book: If your granddaughter is interested in taking her paper making skills to the next level, consider gifting her a book on paper sculpture techniques. This will introduce her to innovative methods of shaping and manipulating paper, enabling her to create three-dimensional sculptures using her handmade paper.

6. Subscription to Handmade Paper Magazine: A subscription to a magazine dedicated to handmade paper and paper arts could be an inspiring and educational gift. It will provide her with a regular dose of techniques, artist profiles, and project ideas, keeping her engaged with her passion throughout the year.

7. Customized Paper Making Stationery: Consider creating personalized stationery for your granddaughter using her handmade paper. It could include a set of notecards, letterheads, or envelopes, each showcasing her unique papers. This will not only encourage her to continue paper making but also provide her with a practical and beautiful way to share her creations with others.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful gift is to show that you understand and support her passion for paper making. Emphasize her interests by choosing items that complement her artistic journey and enable her to explore new techniques and ideas.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
