This review is from: Bright Ideas in Papercrafts (Paperback)

I was looking forward to this book, but was disappointed by the projects. This book seems to me to be better suited for kids than adults. I think that even a beginning crafter would not find this book very informative. The projects are ones that you could be inspired to build just by looking at supplies in a craft store. I think that it would be better for kids because they are more likely to need really simple instructions for basic techniques. A better book that has basic techniques more suited for adults is -The Encyclopedia of Papermaking and Bookbinding- by Reimer-Ep and Reimer.
