Paper Made!: 101 Exceptional Projects to Make Out of Everyday Paper

Finally, a craft book that has the coveted combination of inspiring projects that you actually want to make, plus clear, well-illustrated directions that mean you will actually finish a lovely creation and not quit half-way in tears of frustration.This book is filled with tons of engaging ideas for things I would love to have and to gift. So often, craft books have a paltry 25 projects that are mostly fluff except for the 5 really good ones that inspired the book in the first place. But Paper Made has dozens, from the classic (Modern Fete Silhouette Chandelier) to the whimsical (Give Me an E! Letter) to the timeless (Family Portraits), and so many more. Each project is accompanied by wonderful step-by-step illustrations that easy to follow and very clear. Plus, the photos are super cute, and decently big so you can actually see all the little details.Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful, fun book. Lots of ideas for decorating, entertaining, gifts and jewelry. You're guarenteed to find something you'll want to try.

I am a paper artist and I just love the variety in this book. Good purchase.

This was a great book. I really love the ideas and pictures. There are so many DIY books out there and many of them are outdated and boring. This was NOT the case here. This feels modern & fresh and there are things that actual, average people can and might want to do. So many books have just a few projects. This had many, which I like. It's helpful to have a ton of projects because not every project is going to connect with the reader, so there were enough here to where you feel like you got your money's worth even if you don't love every project. This is a fun coffee table book too.

Bought for my 13 y/o birthday. Turns out her 15 y/o sister loves it just as much. Really cool craft designs, not chintzykid stuff. Very artistic; was quite impressed by the level of artwork one can accomplish. Definitely not a daycare-style craftbook (i.e. sit down for 20 min and make origami). Perfectly challenging for the artistically styled young teenager.

Lots of great ideas and directions. One very important thing missing in my opinion, templates. They give a web site, but I've tried everything and cannot get one template. Just doesn't seem like it would have been too much trouble to have them included.

I like a lot of the projects in this book but not all of them. Most of the projects require basic supplies and little or no special skills. There are no templates in the book, but the templates can be obtained on the website. Overall, I like the book and am glad that I bought it.

This has a great variety of projects and inspirations, most of which can be made mainly utilizing things already on hand. I will readily admit that not everything is to my liking, but with so many options, that is to be expected, and I realize that the thing I pass up may be just what the next person was looking for. Highly recommended.

Useful book to use in working with children and studying for Playwork and Childcare qualifications

This is a great book, especially if you have very little experience with paper crafts (or crafts in general). Very easy to follow the instructions. There are five levels of difficulty. There are so many projects to choose from; there should be a number that appeals to everyone. And you need very few basic supplies -- the whole idea is to make use of materials you already have or can gather for free or for a few pennies. I think that adds to the fun when you look around you and picture all the things that can be used in a project. And I imagine that after trying out many of the projects, you can venture out on your own and improvise.

Einige nette Ideen, aber auch sehr viel Bekanntes.Da kenne ich bessere Bücher, die sich mit neuem Papier beschäftigen, aber natürlich auch mit altem Papier hergestellt werden können.

Innanzitutto mi piace com'è strutturato: le foto belle grandi ti fanno apprezzare i dettagli dei progetti, i modelli sono scaricabili dal sito. I progetti sono spiegati molto bene ed è impossibile, mentre lo si sfoglia, non farsi, mentalmente, la lista dei progetti da realizzare!

The book is full of projects, mostly based in paper or cardboard that could be recycled in conventional facilities or be added to your composting system. The construction methods seem to be coherent and well explained. The reason why I'm giving the book three stars is because the final objects are uninspiring. The projects that mutilate books are particularly painful to see.
