From Me:
This book has beautiful projects!! I decided to try the classic rose and use the supplies I had around my house. I had some good quality crepe paper that I got as leftover samples from Paper Source back when I worked there. I couldn't find any of my flower making supplies but used some flower wire I was able to find. The instructions and templates are easy to use and follow.
I did not make the leaves for the rose. I printed the template page for the rose and followed the instructions as best I can. I am very happy with how the flower came out.
The steps were easy, and I personally love how the rose came out. It was so easy to make, and the instructions are full of photos and are truly step by step. I love how they make it fairly easy to personalize each part of the flower. They suggest making the cuts for the sepal as well as for each petal. It allows the creator to make each one unique and look more real.

The are a variety of flowers in the book. Some of the projects require painting to get the flowers to look real like the daffodil pictured above. Since I had limited colors of crepe paper, I only tried the rose but am excited to try some of the different flowers.

After all the instructions for the individual flowers there are projects that include bouquets and wreaths and more like the Mushroom Cloche pictured below. There is a large variety and so many things you can do with these beautiful projects.
