Overview

Create beautiful, ornate flowers with this instructive origami book, with sheets of origami paper included!

Japanese paper folding, or origami, is an ancient art form that continues to fascinate craft fans and anyone else with a creative streak. From the tulip to the amaryllis, each design has clear step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs, as well as information on basic folding techniques and materials.

The projects in this book are based on flowers held by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, London. These gardens originally belonged to the British royal estate and now houses the largest and most diverse collection of botanical species in the world. Kew have contributed to the beautiful origami designs seen in this collection.

Featuring a die-cut cover which reveals the origami sheets within, this delightful full-color book serves as an excellent introduction to those who want to experiment with paper-folding and create beautiful and original flower models.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Publishing and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have collaborated to create a wonderful selection of botanical-themed arts, crafts and activity books, including origami, dot-to-dots and color-by-numbers.
