Written by the author of "Polly Pinder's Party Cakes" and "Herbs in Pots", this book shows how simple paper-making can be, and how the decorative options are limited only by the imagination: inlay garden herbs such as sage, mint or sweet cicely in paper, or roses and lavender, cinnamon, blackberries and orange rind; add colour with natural colour from elderberries, rosehips or onion skins; emboss it with leaves and lace; scent it with essential oils; and make impressions using string or cork. Experiment with this inexpensive craft to create a range of scented papers and finished items, such as writing paper and envelopes, book marks, lampshades, book covers, candleshades, place settings, paper roses, jewellery, covered boxes and drawer liners.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Short, very nicely done and very, very useful!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scented Herb Papers (Paperback)
I've been collecting books about making paper. Some are long and complex - more than a novice crafter even wants to know. Some books use terms or materials that are difficult or confusing. Some leave you with many questions. Polly's little book tackles teaching you to make paper the most directly of all the books I've read. She's got a photograph for every single step in the process and the materials are simple and accessible. The herb portion is interesting and will make you want to experiment. I was just so thrilled that this little book was so definitive enough that it could give me the confidence to really try papermaking.

This review is from: Scented Herb Papers (Paperback)
I wanted to learn how to make my own paper, & I wanted it with scents. This book covered both topics in a very easy-to-follow way. This book makes paper-making lots of fun. There are photos for every step, which makes it easy for even a novice. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn how to make their own paper--it's great for young & old.
