There are 25 beautiful projects included, with many of my favourite flowers from some of my most popular workshops.
The book starts by introducing the materials that are used and the different types of crepe papers, before moving on to guide you through the basic techniques of paper flower making. You are then led through the individual flower tutorials as well as the flower seasons, starting with Spring and cyclamen, anemone, crocus and narcissus, through to fuchsia, peonies, roses, dahlias and many more. There are then an additional five projects sharing ideas on how to use the flowers within the home, including an arrangement, wall hanging and a beautiful table setting. All the templates for each project are included in the book at life size.

Paper Flower Making Kit
In collaboration with Printworks, I’m thrilled to have put together the tutorials for a new paper flower making kit.
The kit is beautifully packaged and contains crepe paper, wire, glue and wire cutters along with an instruction booklet and the templates to cut out at life size. There’s also a QR code at the back of the instruction booklet, so that you can view the instructions and step photos more closely on screens.
Altogether, you can make 3 bomb peonies, 6 cosmos, 6 stems of sweet pea and 6 stems of foliage. The kit is aimed at beginners.
