"Over the centuries diverse traditions of paperworking have been developed all around the world. The result is a vast array of distinctive paper goods and decoration that is breathtaking in its scope and beauty. This book has gathered together over 125 papercraft projects for making at home, from paper construction ideas to exquisite examples of decoupage, papier-mache, paper cutting and collage. All the instructions are easy to follow, relying on fairly basic resources. Projects include silhouettes, mirror frames, lampshades, screens, Christmas decorations, stationary, greetings cards, gift wraps, treasure boxes, children's toys, trays, ornaments, vases, plates, and mobiles. Each project is clearly illustrated with detailed step-by-step photography to guide you through every stage. A comprehensive section at the beginning of the book describes all the materials and equipment you will need, as well as essential paperworking techniques."--P.[2] of cover.
