Have you ever made your own
greeting cards, paper flowers, or scrapbook? Wait till you see the variety of
projects and designs in Paper Craft, a brand new book now available at Rowan Public
Library, from the editors at DK Publishing.
The authors begin with a
description of basic equipment and a look at different types of paper. For each
project they include a list of the materials you will need and templates you
can use.
Each project is photographed step
by step so that you can follow along with the instructions. Try creating a pop up bouquet greeting card,
so colorful and fun to give. Or make you own designer envelopes and gift boxes.
Most projects involve a combination
of tracing, cutting, and folding. There’s also a section on quilling, the
coiling and shaping of narrow strips of paper to create a design. Although it
can be intimidating at first, according to the notes, practice and patience are
all that’s required to learn this particular technique. Here they use it to
make greeting cards and even earrings.
Don’t miss this beautifully photographed,
fun book of projects great for gift giving or home decorations. Check out Paper
Craft at Rowan Public Library today.
