Book Description

Readers will enjoy transforming paper into delightful gifts and decorations, like pretty party tokens, whimsical yet useful boxes, love notes, garlands, and greetings of every kind. Some designs utilize origami techniques; others use the simple cut-fold-paste method. Paper will take unusual twists and turns that will create one-of-a-kind crafts to brighten any occasion. Although most of the projects are geared toward adults, some are suitable for parents and children to do together. Work space needed is minimal, and the projects are inexpensive to make-all they require is paper, some glue, and scissors. These three-dimensional designs are an easy way to perk up a room, decorate for a party, or make personal gifts. Contains more than 75 easy-to-make projects. Color photos throughout clearly illustrate how the projects should be put together and how they accent a setting. Appeals to creative adults, parents, and teachers. Sandra Lounsbury Foose is a freelance graphic designer and the author of seven books on crafts-related subjects, including The Scrap Saver's Stitchery, Scrap Saver's Christmas Stitchery, and 101 Great Gifts.
