Make in a Day: Paper Flowers

A lovely book of straight forward instructions to make a variety of cute and pretty paper flowers to use as attractive table decorations or gifts. Would be especially nice for Easter or Mothers Day.

This is a cute book with lots of clear instructions and pictures

Perfectly simple, easy-to-follow steps for my baby niece and I to surprise her mother with on a rainy day - great ideas and beautiful flowers!

This is a good, basic book for beginning papercrafters. The fifteen projects are easy to make and the materials required might already be available in your home. Step-by-step instructions, with full color photos, are included along with the techniques of dyeing, drying and using coffee filters in some of the designs.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Make in a Day: Paper Flowers is aptly named because this book teaches just how to easily do that very thing. When I think of paper flowers I think of the traditional carnation looking tissue flowers that I have made since I was a child. Amanda Evanston Freund’s books gives directions for hyacinths, teacup roses, water lilies, dandelions and many more. What I especially liked about the book besides the variety of flowers shown is the clear directions and close-up photos of the process. It made learning this new skill to be a breeze for me. I feel that upper elementary age children would find this an appealing book, too. However, if you are an expert, I am not sure this would have much new in it for you but for a novice like me, it was perfect.

The publisher through Net Galley provided a copy.

5 Easy to learn how to make paper flowers Stars.

The Make In a Day Paper Flowers book by Amanda Evanston Freund was a delight to read as her projects look pretty and doable. It's not often I get excited enough to immediately want to try a new craft, but after reading Make In a Day Paper Flowers I've already bought some of the items needed.

What I like most about her book is the ability to find normal items such as coffee filters, tissue paper, straws and pipe cleaners to create beautiful flowers.

Her book is beautifully illustrated with plenty of color photos.

Recommend.

Review written after downloading a galley from NetGalley

I love crafts! So I think this book by Amanda Evanston Freund is awesome and easy to follow. I tried two of the paper flowers included in the book: the Hydrangeas and the Teacup Roses. Between the two of them, my favorite was the Hydrangeas. As I mentioned, the instructions were super easy to follow and I was really happy with the results. They were beautiful and I can’t wait to try them again (for a work activity coming up soon). I love that the book cover included the paper flowers together, so it gives you an idea on what you will learn to make. The photos included in the book, are simple and clear. There’s a photo for every step, so you can follow the instructions very well. At the end of the book, it gives you some dyeing tips and the materials you can use for the paper flowers. Oh, and of course, the materials for every flower are included before every step-by-step instruction. Highly recommended for those craft lovers like me!

TRULY BEGINNER FRIENDLY! (5 STARS)


A childhood friend of mine had one of the most talented grandmothers I've met. She was a marvel with many mediums but it was her papercrafts that always had me in awe. Her paper flowers were gorgeous and so beautiful I never thought to even try making them.

To my astonishment, this book breaks several types down in ways that seem remarkably easy to follow. I'd dare even go so far as to suggest many of these can be done by a patient child.

If you're interested in dabbling in paper flower crafting or trying to make a homemade gift for Mother's Day or perhaps Valentine's, I much recommend giving this book a shot. I really look forward to getting my materials together and giving a few of these projects a go.

Make In A Day Paper Flowers was a great example of this type of craft book. It was packed out with different flower designs so you would certainly get you moneys worth from this edition. It had easy to follow instructions alongside the list of supplies each flower would need and vibrant pictures of the finished product.
This came along at a good time as it was half term and the kids were happy to join in and were super proud of the flowers they had made.
If you are into this kind of craft, you cant go wrong with this book.

Fantastic! This is the cutest idea I've seen in ages. I'm sure people have been doing this for ages, but this is new to me. I like the directions with lots of pictures. The list of supplies at the beginning is convenient. Like you can dive right in and get started. The flowers are so pretty. I really liked the idea of using drinking straws...much better than pipe cleaners. lol

Every craft were well explained and adorable.........
