Create beautiful paper flowers with this easy origami guide, which includes 10 tutorials and 400 pages of high-quality origami paper so you can start folding right away.

Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, and what better subject to fold than flowers, which brighten up even the darkest of days. This stunning book will provide hours of enjoyment, creating beautiful floral designs that can be used for home decor, greeting cards and gifts, or simply for the pleasure of folding.

The book begins with ten easy, step-by-step tutorials that will teach you how to fold a variety of beautiful stylised flowers and leaves, including: Cherry Blossom, Rose, Carnation, Wisdom Flower, Spring Flower, Tulip, Lily, Lotus Flower, Pleated Leaves and Stem. Each tutorial includes written instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams that show you exactly how to fold the paper for a perfect result every time.

Once you've mastered the flowers, you'll find 400 pages of square sheets of coloured and patterned paper that are perforated, allowing you to easily remove them and start folding. The rainbow of papers ranges from pale pink to the darkest pink, then red, yellow, green, teal and blue, meaning you'll always have the right shade to hand. In addition to the solid colours, beautifully illustrated patterns interspersed throughout the book will give you opportunities to create more colourful flowers, or can be used in your other origami and paper craft projects.
