Construction Paper Crafts to Get You Started

Construction paper, also known as sugar paper, is a thick, durable, and versatile material made from wood pulp. It comes in various colors and thicknesses, is affordable, durable, and easy to cut.

Construction paper is made by mixing wood pulp with water, adding synthetic dyes, and pressing. The mixture is sieved into a papermaking screen, pressed, and molded into desired thickness. The sheets can be cut to size.

Investing in construction paper can save on Halloween decorations. Create witch's hats, cones filled with candies, and personal piñatas for kids. Create pumpkins by cutting orange construction paper sheets into accordion folds and stacking them on top. Add green tendrils and a brown construction paper pumpkin stalk for a festive touch.

Create Christmas crafts using construction papers and scissors. Roll green trees into cones, attach brown stems, and decorate. Create candy cane ornaments with red and white construction paper, attaching white stripes.

Create beautiful construction paper flowers by folding and cutting strips, then glue them onto a green stem for floral centerpieces.
