Papercraft Miracles is an eco-friendly handmade paper company specializing in weddings, events & gifts.

Papercraft Miracles is an eco-friendly handmade paper company specializing in weddings, events and gifts. Crafting custom made items is what they do best, incorporating extra special details to make each order one-of-a-kind.

The Papercraft Miracles studio is located in the heart of the Black Rock neighborhood in Buffalo, NY and all items are made in-house. We are also an eco-friendly business. The studio uses reclaimed and solar-heated water whenever possible, and since fall 2016, our entire studio has been solar powered. We encourage our customers to purchase our 100% recycled handmade paper and we also create many types of plantable seed paper products that will grow flowers, vegetables and herbs when planted in the ground. Many of our paper products are also created using plants grown in our gardens.

Whether you are planning an extravagant wedding, looking for a unique gift or just want a few thank-you cards, they are committed to their customers and their satisfaction. Each piece is created with love and little bit of magic.

Janna Willoughby-Lohr is the owner and artist behind Papercraft Miracles, where she has created handmade books, stationery and paper creations for everyday use and special occasions since 2003. Janna studied bookbinding and paper arts at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC. She has been honing her skills for over 15 years and has since taken the business full-time. In July 2018, she won the Ignite Buffalo grant from 43North and Facebook and Papercraft Miracles now has a team of three employees.

In her own words, Janna states the reason she’s so dedicated to her work:
“There’s just something about handling paper that sends me to the moon and brings me back to earth at the same time. That feeling is miraculous to me. I aim to instill that sense of wonder into each piece that I create, because we can all use a little miracle now and then.”
