A Guide to Making Beautiful and Lifelike Botanicals

An inspiring and practical guide to crafting the most realistic and artful crepe paper flowers for arrangements, decor, art, wearables and more. This book includes complete how-to instructions for making more than 30 types of flowers.
Paper flowers continue to be a popular trend in the art and craft space, and paper artist Tiffanie Turner is widely admired for her beautiful and lifelike creations, which she models on live flowers to achieve a natural look rarely seen in crafting books. In this strikingly packaged, elevated guide Turner instructs readers on how to create over 30 unique paper flowers at home, including both small and large designs. Step-by-step instructions, which are as lovely as they are informative, and sections on special techniques like candy striping and creating natural looking imperfections make this an incredible resource for crafters looking for their next show-stopping project.
