Synopsis

Paper — both affordable and universally available — is possibly the most versatile material in the crafter's kit box. In this new book from Quadrille's Simple Makes series, Christine Leech demonstrates 30 original and creative ideas for lovely papercraft projects.

Some of the projects are simply drawn and cut, such as the fish mobile or rose gift tag, whilst others are constructed and glued, for example a cute yet practical stationery birdhouse that holds paperclips inside and has Post-It note tiles on its roof. A few slightly more advanced projects involve special techniques, such as the beginners' bookbinding method used to create the hand-bound Japanese-style notebooks or the wedding guest book, but everything is easily achievable by following the clear, step-by-step instructions and guides.

This book is part of the Simple Makes series, a new, creative and affordable set of illustrated step-by-step books that are suitable for all crafters, no matter what their level of skill.

About this title

About the Author

Christine Leech has been an avid crafter since childhood, sewing menageries of felt animals, wardrobes of dolls' dresses and always refusing to buy a greetings card when a handmade one could be sent instead. She now has over 15 years' experience designing and art directing a host of women's magazines, most recently working as creative director of the acclaimed Marie Claire Runway. She divides her time between this and blogging about all things craft at www.sewyeah.co.uk. Christine co-created the bestselling books Everything Alice: The Wonderland Book of Makes and Everything Oz: The Wizard Book of Makes and Bakes, which introduced a truly groundbreaking approach to craft.
