I bought 5he book for several reasons, mothers day was coming and I wanted to make something unique for mom and mother-in-law (Iris'). Also went on vacation and needed a project to do with my nieces. They are middle schoolers and we made Hibiscus. They turned out great. And now I'm ready to do a few different types for the house. Easy to use and a great hobby for at least 11yrs. and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and useful book!

This is a excellent book with tutorials and tips for creating flowers out of crepe paper. The flowers are gorgeous! The author presents very clear and complete directions for each project, with step-by-step pictures. It is wonderful that the author provided SVG and PDF files (to be used with a Cricut or other paper cutting machine). The only thing that could be improved, would be the pages that have white text on top of a light colored background (some pages are more difficult to read). This is an extremely helpful book, and I highly recommend it. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and inspiring photos
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020
Verified Purchase
All the photos in the book are beautiful. Even photos of materials and supplies are artfully arranged and make you want to dive in and make flowers.

Each flower gets its own chapter and illustrated steps to make.

Templates are at the end. A code to download the PDF and SVG files are included. I have not tried the codes yet. However, the Kindle version does not allow Right click for printing items on page.

The most inspiring chapter is under "Flower Arrangements" and includes projects such as wedding bouquet, garland, wreath, corsage, boutonierre, vase arrangements and flower pot arrangements. Done right, crepe paper flowers can take the place of ubiquitous polyester faux flowers. Unlike real flowers, they don't fade and die.

The flowers to make require hot gluing individual flower petals together, which is more realistic, but also tedious and time consuming. The crepe paper to use is a plug in for the author's own line of specialty and upgraded crepe paper, but will also be superior in color fastness and durability.

I was worried from another review that I had wasted my money but all the lovely pictures are there and all the links work. Oh the pictures are beyond lovely, they are crisp, clear, detailed and a work of art. The author has done a fantastic job explaining the different types of crepe paper, where they are made, how to use each and where to buy them. She lets you know what is in her toolbox and since some items are pricy, what is the bare minimum you will need to get started. The great thing is that if you do a bit of quilting or sewing you will probably have most of the items needed. She mentioned using card stock to make the master pattern for the flowers but I would use the plastic sheets that you use to make quilt patterns. These would last a lot longer. I have never made crepe paper flowers but reading this book made me feel that I too, with practice, could be making wonderful flowers soon.

I really love this book. She gives great instructions and a full supply list for each project, and there are patterns in the back of the book.
The projects feel like attainable ones, not overwhelming or confusing. They are also arranged according to difficulty level...it's really awesome. What I recommend: go onto YouTube and check out Lia's channel. There are episodes where she is making some of these flowers and I found it an excellent resource for bringing it all together.
Hope this helps! Happy crafting

I absolutely LOVE Lia Griffith’s designs. I’ve only made three of the flowers so far (rose, hibiscus, chrysanthemum) but I’m in love with this book! The crepe paper is super easy to cut with the Cricut Maker and the instructions and photos in the book make putting the flowers together so easy. They look so lifelike too! (The pictures don’t do them justice at all). This book has helped me take my paper flower making to the next level. I highly recommend this amazing book!
