PAPER + CUP DESIGN at Paper Source

Over the weekend, I visited the new Paper Source shop in Brooklyn (woot!) along with the lovely Kristin Appenbrink. We went to see PAPER+CUP founders Minhee and Truman Cho demonstrate how to make adorable paper balls from their new book, Paper + Design. (P.S. The book was styled by Randi Brookman Harris, whom I wrote about this summer. See that post here.)

I don't consider myself that crafty, but loved learning how to make this simple and chic decoration. It would look perfect hanging with several others at a party, or as a smart gift topper.

Kristin is going to be writing about how to make them over on her blog at RealSimple.com, so keep an eye out! **UPDATE: Kristin's post is up! See it here.
