WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION PAPER 

First things first, let’s clear up any confusion.

If you are wondering what construction paper is, let me help you with that.

Construction paper is the most common craft paper, it usually comes in stacks of multi-colored or patterned sheets and can be used in various crafts. It is slightly stiff, can easily be cut, and glues easily.

All the projects in this papercraft collection can be made with simple construction paper, although it can often be substituted for printer paper, cardstock or origami paper.

And if you still have a few of those pretty patterned scrapbook paper pads in your stash, these will work too!

Other basic tools you’ll need are quality pair of scissors, craft glue or a hot glue gun and glue sticks, and maybe something like crayons of soft chalk.
