Abstract: The process for crafting paper includes providing a double-sided mat having a cutting surface on one side and a scoring surface on an opposite side. Both the cutting surface and the scoring surface each have measurement indicia thereon. Paper is scored or cut on respective sides of the mat with a ruler having a channel formed therein. The channel is capable of receiving a scoring knob or a cutting blade for precisely cutting or scoring arches, circles or straight lines. The mat and ruler are also configured to construct box tops that precisely fit relatively smaller box bottoms.

Abstract: A decorative wire is formed by providing a length of thin, bendable wire that serves as the foundation of the decorative wire. A fabric having a straight grain is selected and the fabric is cut biased to the straight grain. The fabric is spiral wound along the length of the bendable wire. The fabric adheres to the wire as the fabric is wrapped around the bendable wire. One example of a decorative wire formed by the above process includes a length of thin, bendable wire where a plurality of elongated strips of fabric are spiral wound along the length of the bendable wire and adhesively connected thereto. Each strip of fabric includes an abraded edge formed while the strip is wrapped around the bendable wire.
