It’s lovely to be gifted with a how-to book – so when the
festivities are over, you can dive into a new pursuit for the New Year. How to Craft With Paper, from the Mollie Makes team, provides a stylish intro to papercrafting for
newbies.
The projects are super-appealing (loving Three Little Cacti Pots, by Sarah
Matthews) and are accompanied by inspirational capsule bios of the designers.
Projects include papier maché owl bowls and a mini party pinata, origami fairy
lights shaped like lilies, an modular origami lampshade, cut and close flower
boxes (ideal for gifting), and a Foxy Nights papercut. The projects all have
stunning beauty shots (as you would expect of Mollie Makes), accompanied by photo how-tos.
The format of the book situates the projects up front, followed
by the techniques section. This inverse order works with the breezy,
get-acquainted vibe of the book. The technique section is good for what it is,
accepting that papercrafting is an umbrella for many different crafts – nothing
in depth, but clear info as provided. Newbies will appreciate the full-size
templates, eliminating extra hassle.
So – a likeable collection of papery projects, strictly for
newbies.
Note: I was supplied with a review copy of this book.
