Paper Folded Flowers

Great book! Lots of lovely ideas, pictures and clear step by step instructions. Projects suitable for both beginners and experienced craters. Packed with tips and inspiration! I love it! Samantha Williams Haggett I love this little book - beautifully presented and illustrated. So much can be achieved from the excellently photographed instructions - enabling the crafter to make large or small projects alike simply by combining the designs. This book would be an excellent introduction for someone just starting the craft of paper folding. The instructions are precise and easy to follow and everything is laid out on each design page so that you don't have to keep skipping to other pages to gather all information to complete the project. A great value for money book that shares a wealth of professional knowledge in a way that both a novice or more advanced crafter could enjoy Jeanie Cole Lovely book full of new ideas. easy to follow instructions with good picture diagrams. great value for money and a must for any keen crafters has lots of different ideas for all occasions. Tina Youell This fun new title by talented papercraft designer Elizabeth Moad focuses on simple but effective techniques for creating dimensional flowers. Paper flowers are always popular, and this book covers a variety of styles, particularly teabag folding looks (Gingham Rosette Card, Yellow Flower Notebook). A pleasant aspect of the book is that each flower is conceived as the embellishment for a project - so there is always a goal in sight. A notable feature of the book is that same-size pattern templates, where needed, are given on-page with the project, rather than having to consult a back-of-book reduced-size template section, which is the usual craft book approach. Everything is geared towards providing a hassle-free papercrafting experience. Clear step-by-steps (photo/text) accompany each project. Many of the projects involve using simple embellishment techniques - such as tone-on-tone rubber stamping - in the Decor Orchid Arrangement to lift the design to another level and add more variety to the creative process. Creating an ombre effect with a mini ink pad is another winning technique. The Concertina Flowers and Christmas Wreath made of pleated rosettes show good use of a scoring board and creasing tool to create fashionable pleated projects. This title would make a super gift for a newbie papercrafter. This book has a companion volume, Paper Quilling, also by Elizabeth Moad (and also from Search Press) which I am looking forward to featuring soon. Quilling is Elizabth Moad's particular area of expertise - so we should be in for a treat. The Papercraft Post
