Parchment craft refers to lace-like paper crafts made with different tools. Parchment crafting is thought to date back to at least the 16th century in Europe and is mostly associated with Catholic monks and nuns who would use the lacy paper technique to create communion cards and borders for religious pictures. After the 16th century, parchment craft became popular in South America as European missionaries arrived there. By the 19th century, French inspired flowers were added to the lacy patterns giving the craft an appealing romantic look. Today, all types of parchment craft patterns are available from children's themes to holiday decorations to the traditional lace and floral designs

Making craft bags with scraps, recyclable materials, and various accessories is a practical and resourceful way to express yourself and exercise your creativity. Make a waterproof craft bag, a braided magazine tote bag, or a scrapbook gift bag.
