ABSTRACT:
Crimped paper articles are reinforced by rolling a piece of paper around a sleeve and pressing one end of the paper and sleeve against a hard surface. The sleeve is repeatedly lifted in small increments and the paper is pushed down towards the hard surface, creating crimps in the paper. When the paper is substantially crimped, it is removed from the sleeve and straightened. Vinyl duct tape or another resilient material is applied to the underside of the paper for reinforcement, and the paper is formed into a useful or art article. The vinyl tape makes the article stronger and more configurable. The vinyl tape also keeps the article from losing its shape. Transparent tape can be applied to the outer surface of the articles to further protect the articles from dehydration, humidity and decay.
