Maplers, we have a new contest for you, this one involving paper crafting! For those who don't know, papercraft is the broad term for making objects out of paper. One example of this is using multiple layers of paper to give a 2D image the appearance of having more dimensions or depth. Origami and scrapbooking are also popular forms of papercraft. You can see some of the examples of papercraft here!
