Old-time tramps and hobos would carve these small boxes and frames while travelling and trade them for food and shelter. Now, using modern cardboard and a few simple craft supplies, you can create beautiful gifts and home accents that capture the look of this 19th century craft for 21st century fun Simply cut shapes from corrugated paper, then stack and glue them on boxes and chests to achieve the vintage appearance of notched and layered wood for which Tramp Art is famous. Easy to follow, step-by-step patterns and instructions make it fun for the whole family. Adding unusual accents like table forks for legs, chunky wood pieces, and massive hardware makes the projects in Tramp Art Papercrafts truly unique. Try one design and you'll want to make them alI |
