Learn how to make realistic plants from paper in this debut book. There
are instructions at the beginning for the various techniques and materials
used, as well as details for each project. These include tools, materials, and
finished size. There are cutting and painting templates included, some of which
do need enlargement. There are 30 different plants included with colors ranging
from light green to pink and purple.
I am moving soon and want to add some greenery to my house. However, I
am very bad at keeping plants alive, and thought that paper might be a good
alternative. There are over 70 pages of instructions at the beginning, which
felt a little overwhelming, but once I got into the individual projects, it was
easy to find specific ones that I liked and only focus on those materials and
techniques. I especially liked the variety of colors, sizes, and shapes that
were included. I felt that some plants looked more realistic than others, but
overall the book felt comprehensive and makes me want to try at least a few of
the plants.
