I have a nice video for you here. I show you some of my favorite arts and crafts tools; I tell you why they are great, and I also show them in action. This video ends up in a creative little paper project.

I was just going to make a straight forward youtube video talking about my favorite paper crafting tools. But that just seemed too mundane. I figured I could improve it by actually using those tools and techniques in the making of a project specifically for the video.

I thought about it for a while and later in the day an idea just popped right into my head. I ended up with this adorable little paper box project. It is based on the Rembrandt painting "The Philosopher in Meditation".
