Josh Lowensohn at Webware reports on a cool new website called Paper Critters that helps you design cute and evil looking paper critters online.
For DIY nuts out there, the Web is a source of plentiful project ideas and guides. It's also the home of a handful of paper craft projects, the kind you can print out and put together with a little bit of glue and ingenuity. A new, and really neat one got sent our way this weekend. It's called Paper Critters, and it's a Web-based creation tool for making your own desk art in the form of a boxlike creature. You can edit all five sides of it using a simple drag-and-drop editor with a variety of stamps and drawing tools. There's also a custom stamp that lets you use an image from your hard drive.
You get different eyes, noses, tattoos and other character features depending on how cute or evil you choose to make your paper critter. You can preview your critter in 3-D before you print it. The paper critter print-out includes the instructions for cutting and folding your paper critter into the correct shape once you are finished. You can also add your critter to the websites Colony feature which contains thousands of other people's critter creations. You can also see a list of ten best paper critters.
