Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
While I liked the variety of paper crafts the author describes, I found it difficult to follow without step by step photos to guide me. These are not beginner crafts but for more advanced crafters. I did like that the author provides a picture of the tools and materials you'll need. But would have preferred more illustrations.

This super creative book covers a huge array of crafting options for paper. It’s a little frustrating to have a protected PDF as an ARC, because I cannot try out any of the projects before writing review. However, the instructions seem very thorough, and there is a huge selection of activities from which to choose - super easy to very difficult.
I have a lot of paper craft books, and have perused many more, but I still found some unique and original ideas in this book.
I appreciate that some of the projects could be completed with very simple materials that you would find around your home, while others are super sophisticated and require specialty tools, making this book very versatile and a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys paper crafts.

A vibrant and wonderful instructional book for papercrafting! This book gives a straightforward, but detailed overview from needed materials, methods, and a huge variety of projects. Gorgeous, colorful, step-by-step pictures or diagrams accompany all of the projects. Some of the project categories include: constructing, folding, cutting, papermaking, etc. This is a perfect place to start if you want to learn about papercrafts!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.
