Most Helpful Customer Reviews 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Patterned Strips of Paper , July 22, 2006 By  MarmaladeGal - See all my reviews This book provides colour coordinated patterened sheets for use in Iris folding. There are 4 sheets each of patterned: red, green, orange, blue, yellow, purple. And each sheet has 7 different patterns in a particular colour. Each of these patterns is about 8.5 by 1.5 inches. The paper is of good quality with a glossy finish and the patterns quite pretty. However if you have access to good coordinated gift paper or scrabooking sheets in several shades that may work as a substitute. The book gives a sample IRIS folding pattern and describes what is IRIS folding, but does not really give complete instructions one could follow and do a project with Iris Folding Technique. You have to know a bit about IRIS folding (either check the NET or buy a book on it) Also it does not tell you that you need the following supplies: 1) Iris Folding Template 2) Card or Paper with the shape of the template cut out, ie if the template is a cirle, then you need to cut a cirle the same size of your template on the card or paper you are working with 3) Tape 4) Iris folding papers in different shades. Usually the strips used are approx 2 cm wide, and then folded at about 0.7cm. These are then taped in order to you card with the cutout shape, by matching up strips over the template. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Paper--Paper Cutter Required, August 31, 2006 By  Anne Macchione "Annie's Nooks-n-Crannies" (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    The book is described as "perforated" papers. Just be aware that only the bound side of each sheet is perforated. This enables you to easily remove each sheet from the booklet as you are ready to use it but you will have to cut and score the strips individually after that. The papers represent 6 primary colors (red, blue, green, yellow, orange, & purple) with 4 identical sheets for each color. The paper sheets are semi-glossy which enhances the interesting prints and subtle hue changes. I like the papers but it sure would have been nicer if each of the 7 strips on each page was perforated in between. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Iris Folding Paper, June 28, 2007 By  Jeanette L. Misaiko "Skunk928" (Tolland, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Nice book if you want just multiple matching papers for folding. I would have preferred more versatility in the patters (ie more floral or country).
