Beautiful book of patterns that was really inspirational. Good quality and a huge variety of different patterns for all tastes.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this free e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

There is nothing "wrong" with this book, as patterns and ideas in general are good, and a huge selection is also good. However, everyone will have their own idea of artwork, and there are just too many of these patterns I don't like.

From traditional motifs like Santa, snowflakes, and reindeer to abstract, space-age, and mid-century modern designs there's something here to suit every taste. After a few how-to pages, including tips on finishing the projects, the creativity begins. Ornaments are always a great gift idea, and with the plethora of patterns in this book, you'll have years of gift and craft show ideas to keep your laser humming throughout the year.

This book is delightful, whether to use the patterns as they are or as an inspirational jumping off point to help create your own designs.

500 Patterns for Woodworking, Laser Cutting, and General Crafting is a great resource for many types of crafters. For example, I don't do woodworking or have a laser cutter, but I do have a cutting machine (usually vinyl) that I would also be able to use these for. There are a variety of types of patterns and you are able to get digital versions by visiting a website linked by a qr code.
They are all theoretically ornament patterns, but you could use the graphics for other things, as well.

Thanks to Fox Chapel Publishing | Fox Chapel and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
