This could have had lots more paper projects than it does; journal inserts and pop-ups come to mind. The ones that are in here are too few and simplistic.This will go in the donation box.

The versatility of paper is amazing. It can be your grocery list, a lovely card, an introduction to your business (business card), even and airplane. With Paper Craft Home you can learn how to transform paper into beautiful pieces which will delete your family and friends.There are 25 projects included within the book. Each requires only a few basic techniques to be mastered.Once mastered, the results yielded will be amazing. Projects range from Gift Boxes to Cake Toppers, there is a Lampshade, Clock, Garland and so much more.One thing I was thoroughly happy about, is how easy it would be to get into paper crafting. While it would be possible to go more expensive, it is also very possible to get many of the items you want inexpensively, and even at the dollar store.With so many crafts costing a lot to start out, it is nice to find one that is cost-effective. Even during your learning process, you won’t be so upset if you make the odd mistake when it only cost you a few pennies per sheet.Throughout the book, there are various levels of difficulty for each of the projects, from Beginner to Intermediate and then on to Advanced. Cutting, Scoring, Folding, Bow Tying, and Curling are all used throughout the book.The level of detail in the instruction is impressive. Each project includes step-by-step photographs and instructions which are beyond easy to follow. Even somebody coming new to paper crafting could be entirely successful.A list of must-have beginner materials is followed by must have tools. Both of these lists will be invaluable to the new crafter.Easy To Follow, An Excellent ResourceThe various techniques which are described are well photographed. The layout is done in such a way that it makes it even easier to follow. With crafting like this it does take many steps to create the desired results. The steps as described, however, are not overwhelming.Because of the excellent level of instruction, I believe this book will make an excellent resource for new and experienced paper crafters. Looking online, or in craft stores, for different templates, you will be able to apply these techniques to other designs as well.Reviewed for LnkToMi iRead in response to a complimentary copy of the book provided by the publisher in hopes of an honest review.

Paper Craft Home is a step by step how-to book to make some lovely paper projects all by hand. Sarah Louise Matthews included twenty-five projects in this book with range from beginner to advance. I found that even the beginner projects were a bit taunting. One needs a steady hand and an aptitude for precision.For those who have the above needed skills the book begins with overall directions, list of easy to find tools and explanations of specific cuts and folds. It includes the templates for all the projects at the end of the book. Illustrations and photographs are included so that it is easy to understand and follow all directions.For anyone who does not have access to an electric cutting machine or who prefers to do paper crafting by hand, this would make a perfect addition to their personal library.The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.
