Creating textiles with paper

Here we used paper and card to experiment with making textiles for using to make objects such as bags and coasters etc. I started with manipulating the paper in different ways such as weaving, crumpling and folding. I then tried making origami and found this more effective than just throwing the paper away. I then found some crisp packets and laminated them, then i cut them up and weaved them to make an interesting sheet of material.
