Description
A fresh new crafting approach which demonstrates that elaborate artworks can be created from a humble sheet of paper. Building on basic paper engineering and cutting techniques the projects increase in difficulty, from the first few die-cut sheets, from which the crafter 'pops' out the pieces to create the artwork, to more technical curling and quilling in a floral bouquet, and a bicycle sculpture as the final project. Notepad binding allows the pages to be smoothly extracted from the book, and a section of coloured and patterned sheets are included to use as backgrounds that add an extra dimension. There are also clear instructions to accompany photographs of the completed projects and each key technique is explained in detail. The finished projects can be displayed around the home to astonishment and admiration of family and friends.
