This is a great book for anyone who wants to try a craft, but especially for those on a budget. The book not only takes you through the different papers that can be used to make the flowers and their suitability, but also gives guidance on the toolkit you'll need to be able to make the projects (the only thing to which I would add is a selection of different sized paperclips to help hold things in position as the glue dries).The individual projects have easy to follow instructions with clear photos to help you, making every project a doddle - I made an Orchid flower and it was very quick and deceptively simple for something so complicated-looking. I will be making a lot of these flowers to put on cards, presents and gift tags, or to make a bouquet of paper roses to display at home, among many other possible ideas.This beautifully presented book is wonderful for crafter's of all abilities. Well done Search Press on another lovely publication.
