I make all sorts of paper goodies. Paper Koi fish, origami flowers, gift boxes etc. heres how to protect them from deterioration.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

pour small amount of future floor wax into disposable cup. I find my future floor wax at walmart. my best friend Julie taught me this and now i am utterly addicted to paper crafting and preserving them
Step 2

using small amounts on the small paint brush, lightly stroke entire surface once and let dry.I like to use 2 coats just for basic preservation. let each layer of floor wax dry comepletely like an hour.
Step 3

If you want your paper craft to really shine, you can add a 3rd coat of wax, but be careful not to saturate your papercraft into a soggy ruined mess....ha......takes practice and patience
