One of the best craft books I own...,

This review is from: Papercrafts for Christmas: Making Cards and Decorations (Paperback)
I stage a craft workshop every Christmas, and I am always on the lookout for new ideas. This is one of the best books I have ever used. It has enough papercraft ideas to use for several years. The projects are divided into three categories -- Christmas cards, tree ornaments, and table decorations. The instructions are clear and are illustrated at every point with beautiful colored photos. Each project description includes a materials list as well as photos that show other finished projects made with the same techniques. All the projects are things that one might actually want to make--which isn't always true for some of the craft books I've ordered.
The only problem I have with the book is that it is from Britain, and a few materials don't necessarily go by the same names in the US, making them difficult to find with Internet searches.
