Japanese Paper Flowers: Elegant Kirigami Blossoms, Bouquets, Wreaths and More Kindle Edition

Beautiful examples in pages!

This is a good book for beginners and experts alike. I love th3 illustrations and detailed instructions. The templates are a huge bonus 👍🏾

Lovely book with clear directions & good patterns.

exactly as advertised, I'm a satisfied customer

the image quality is so awful that it's hard for me to read the pictures...

Easy for the crafting challenged, such as myself.

“Japanese Paper Flowers” by Hiromi Yamazaki is a beautiful full colour instruction manual on kirigami flowers.Kirigami is the art of cutting paper, although as far as I know, nowadays these paper flowers would be considered paper craft.There are 32 paper flower projects included. Each project has a template in the back of the book that you will trace and then use to get the shape of the petals exactly right.There are some supplies that you’ll need to make them. At a bare minimum: paper/card, scissors or other cutting tool, something rounded to curl petals, pencil and some glue.I was a little nervous to make one of these flowers as they look much harder than they are. I’d even go so far as to say they are extremely easy to make. Much easier than origami!I chose the peony flower, I have to say I’m quite happy with it. I would like to make a larger one, I’m assuming I can take a photo of the template on my phone, size it up and then print out.The paper I used was thick, all I didn’t have was the wire for the stem, I will look out for some next time I go to the shops. Cutting out each individual layer of the flower was a little tedious and my hand hurt afterwards. I must need to use much sharper scissors.All of the first 35 pages of the book are full of pretty photographs, examples of how you can arrange the flowers and different uses such as bookmarks, photo frames, magnets and wreath arrangements.If you were to give this book as a gift, I think you could make it extra special by including some nice paper, wire stems etc; that will give the person no good reason not to start making them straight away.

Present for wife. She loves it and refers to it constantly.Good for a "thank you" kiss at lest once a week.What's not to like?

Prompt posting and delivery.. as described..near new.

good things: I like the pictures and easy to understand instructionsdislikes: feels more like an expanded magazine as opposed to a bookSorry this is just a so-so purchase for me. I got another book on kirigami (paper flowers) that was meatier (more content, more flowers, more patterns) and I am more into that.

è scritto in inglese ma semplice da capire, anche se si hanno le basi della lingua. Le istruzioni sono chiare e sono riuscita anche io che non avevo mai fatto fiori di carta a mettere subito insieme un bel mazzetto da regalare!

El libro es muy bonito y muy útil si te gusta hacer flores de papel, sería aun mejor si los moldes fueran recortables o vinieran en un CD para evitar sacar copias. Por lo demás excelente
