Craft Smart: Papercraft - Softcover

'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

Papier mache, decoupage, origami...

Step by step instructions show you how to fashion a paper rose, an origami butterfly and even a monster toy.

Be the envy of all your friends as you whip up bangles and an aquarium, just from paper!
