Simple Makes – serie

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.
