[.ca] Tissue Paper Flowers Good Enough to Fool Bees (ISBN 1570544972)

very good:
it was pretty easy to make these flowers and i think it was a great deal for this kit to include the stencils, stems, AND all this paper! the flowers turn out great and there are clear instructions 4 every flower. the only problem is that it takes a lot of cutting and the tissue is so delicate that it easily tears. also, it gets very messy w/all the scraps of paper & stencils. other than that, like i said, it turns out great.

stuff for the inner child!:
Get this along with Shrinky Dinks, for any teen you know or anyone turning 40! ha! this book is worth the money ONLY IF: you can't understand the directions on ANYTHING! MAINLY DUE TO: you don't like to read directions and only look at pictures. AND really hate shopping for supplies to any art project AND are just too lazy and dont know where to start anyway when trying to have good rainy indoor fun. Now I am already visualizing "no postive feedback" next to my review, so I will add, this is very easy and inspiring and within 30 seconds figured this out and made a neat flower with no pain that made us want to make two hours worth of "ooh and awwwsss" flowers which we strung from everything in our house and led us to envision a world of paper flowers that never die we could give to everyoen we know to also inspire them. There are really complicated flowers in the book but we love the werid "don't bother cutting it out right see what happens" flowers the most. IN fact, we are gettign a pile of plain white tissue and water coloring them tye dye this weekend to make massive giant huge flowers ! I am planning on sending this to every teen-angst person I know! This is my personal statement on "when your stressed make a flower!" Sometimes life really can be that simple!

fun flowers for every age:
Klutz Press has done it again with another wonderful book. The flowers are easy to make and look great. Our home was soon blooming with flowers. The only thing you need extra is a pair of scissors and you're ready to go. I'm going to buy a copy for a friend in the hospital for pre-term labor. It'll be a great way to pass the time and brighten up her room.

Flowers for anytime, anywhere:
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I spent a whole weekend off making flower after flower and I still want to make more. The instructions are super-clear, easy & fun, and the book supplies plenty of tissue and pipe cleaners. It says on the back cover "This is not a book - it's a bouquet of flowers in flattened form" (or something like that *chuckle*) and they weren't kidding! Buy it and HAVE fun - you won't be disappointed! :)

Five Stars!:
Tissue Paper Flowers is a wonderful instruction guide to making gorgeous and fanciful flower decorations. All you need to get started is included (minus the scissors and someone else pointed out in their review!). The tissue paper provided is good quality and comes in bright, cheerful colors. I like that the pipe cleaners are in various shades of green for the flower stems, as it gives more depth when making bouquets. Back to the instructions, as typical with Klutz books they are written in a very concise and easy to understand manner. There are photos to guide you as well. I would suggest starting from the beginning of the book and then working forward, as you learn techniques in the beginning that carry you throughout the book. This is a fun craft to make and also a fun craft to give. Who wouldn't love a bright and cheery bouquet of flowers? This gets five stars!
