Interesting projects for a dedicated crafter or jewelry artist to try might be a little advanced for a real jewelry beginner but great for creating something different.

Very interesting, as a used book seller I'm always looking for ways to reuse the books that I get that are not good enough quality to sell on, I never send any of my books to landfill so if I can make something then I'm even happier. This book has some very interesting ideas for me to make. Good instructions and photos

I like the concept of paper jewelry, and although some of the examples are attractive, others are not exactly ones that I could visualize actually wearing. I also wish the author would have been a bit more detailed in the initial beginning, going over which tools, and how to use them. A little vague at times. This would be a more useful book if you have done plenty of paper artwork before, or even card making. As one who deals more with fabric, I was a little lost. Would be more fun to work with kids on some of these projects.

Paper Jewelry by Barbara Baumann includes many creative ideas for crafting with paper. The ideas were very cute and included full color photos of completed projects and detailed instructions for how to complete the project.

Love the little book earrings. Lots of projects to repurpose paper. While I did give it five stars on Amazon, on second thought I deleted a star from this review due to some word confusion. Rubber bands is the main one that comes to mind. Even so, this is a valuable tool.

Innovative jewelry projects using all types of paper products. Recycled paper is readily available and usually cheap (free). She shows you ideas for making bracelets, earrings neclaces and more form all types of paper. Newsprint, magazines,old books, crepe paper,construction paper, cardboard, playing card paper and a wealth of other ideas can be used to create unique items. She provides some basic ideas about how to create different types of jewelry but leaves it to your imagination to create your own. This is a very creative and inspiring book!

I liked the ideas, but many seemed too complex for a beginner. Many of the pieces are not wearable for average people. I felt that most of the pieces were teen or child oriented. Also most of the examples could use more instructions. Over all good book for teens who can follow pictures to make a project.
