This is a
collection of quick-make holiday papercraft
projects aimed at the complete newbie. Many of the projects are
well-designed and appealing (Paper Bird Trims, origami Diamond Decorations) –
but others are a bit too Mickey Mouse (examples – a mini-bunting of paper
triangles glued onto baker’s twine, simple paper snowflakes, stamped tags
dipped in glitter – the vibe is too primary school). A crafter looks to a book for lightbulb ideas and inspiration – not the obvious.
The Advent
Houses and Paper Feather Tags are attractive, well-designed projects in which the author’s pattern design skills are
showcased. A very big plus is that full-size templates are included
back-of-book, a fact which will be appreciated by entry-level papercrafters.
There are
photographic step-by-steps for all the projects.
