I decided to create this section as there is nothing worse than trying to master a new technique and getting stuck...i hope you find this page useful

If you are trying to find how to do something either a new technique or how to use a machine and it isn't listed on here please get in touch and i will try my best to find it for you

Firstly i would obviously checkout the video tutorials on craftsUprint as there are step by step videos to take you though all of the latest techniques in papercrafts
