Reviews / Votes
'I tend to use websites for creative ideas rather than books these days, but the step-by-step instructions and clear pictures are easy to follow and would suit young crafters perhaps choosing their own tasks and wishing to learn new skills.' 'An attractive, colourful book. . . Recommended for school libraries, parents and teachers and for any creative child.' - CBI Children's Book Festival 'The cover of this book immediately draws you in as it shows some really lovely pieces of papercraft - I really wanted to be able to make them! . . . They are all unusual and yet use readily available materials so are good for school or home use.' - 20th October - Parents in Touch ' An attractive, colourful book. . .
