From richly textured handmade paper to elegant pop-ups, Paper in Three Dimensions brings paper crafting to new levels.

Lavishly illustrated step-by-step directions make it simple to create an origami bowl with origami lilies; a greeting card in the shape of the Eiffel Tower; and a pop-up sculpture garden, complete with trees, gated walls, and flowers.
