I&#8217;ve been playing with this idea for a while now of making a tutorial series about papertoy and how you can make one yourself.

It&#8217;s <strong>you<\/strong> giving me comments\/advice\/whatever and helping me write this &#8220;book&#8221; by giving comments).<\/p>\n<p>I say &#8220;book&#8221; because you don&#8217;t really need the book, because you can read it on my blog.
