An entertaining guide to the art of papercraft takes readers step by step through more than fifty ingenious projects and includes detailed instructions, as well as information on the level of difficulty, tips on selecting the right paper and accessories, techniques used, and time required, for everything from a set of invitations to personalized stationary, scrapbook pages, and holiday decorations. 10,000 first printing.

British artist Jones takes center stage in this 50-project compilation of all things paper, from decoupage and origami to stamping and stenciling. Projects^B include more than the expected instructions, featuring step-by-step photographic explanations and the like. So, a scented baby mobile is not only described pictorially and verbally but also refined by the insistence on using lavender oil. Items celebrate the middle-of-the-road gifts, such as baby cards, holiday baskets, scrapbooks, trays, coasters, and more. Still other information, in crafter's tips, promotes such practical activities as purchasing an expensive tool as a team--then sharing it. And levels of difficulty, time needed, and primary technique for each project make sure that every crafter's a winner. Barbara Jacobs
