4.0 out of 5 stars Make interesting geometric pop-ups, September 13, 1999

By	Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a wonderful book that will help older children & adults alike make interesting geometric pop-ups. Though the designs are complex & take some patience, they are definitely worth the effort.

The book starts out by explaining fractals & teaching how to draw some of them. Ten card projects follow grouped from easiest to hardest. You are supposed to cut up the book, but you can make copies if you want.

Clear, step-by-step instructions & a template are given for each card. Pages with printed patterns that can be cut & used to make the cards are also included. For each one, ideas to make the card fancier are shown.

Making these cards truly brings a sense of accomplishment. They also make beautiful & unique gifts. I have given them to many friends and they have been very delighted & impressed.
