Paper to Petal: 75 Whimsical Paper Flowers to Craft by Hand Review: Great resource for crafters! - This is a really amazing book and a wonderful resource for crafters of any experience level with paper flowers. The authors provide endless inspiration for both creating flowers and ways to use your creations. The book is split up into several sections, including pictures of completed flowers for pure inspiration, a detailed how-to section with lots of instructions and tips on general techniques and materials, step-by-step instructions on how to make flowers featured in the earlier chapter, and then the largest collection of templates I've ever seen. Not only do the authors tell you how to make the flowers in the book, they also encourage you to mix and match templates and create your own to form entirely new flowers. While the flowers in this book are not the typical life-like recreations of real flowers found in other books, many of the designs can be altered to create realistic and beautiful flowers that can be mixed in with traditional crepe or tissue roses, daisies, and the like in any bouquet, arrangement, or favor. There are also a number of fun, whimsical designs that seem very fitting for more casual purposes. I am working on creating paper flowers for my wedding next summer, and am excited to include a number of flowers and ideas from this book. The images included are just gorgeous and the instructions are very detailed, even rated for difficulty so that users can know what to expect when starting a project. Honestly, the resources listing in the back of the book alone is invaluable for someone who has been trying to track down all the various online stores for different kinds of crepe paper, tissue, flower stamens, floral tape, decorative scissors, etc. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in crepe-paper flower making. Especially if used in conjunction with a book like "How to Make 100 Paper Flowers" by Maria Noble, you'll learn everything you need and never run out of ideas and projects! Review: THE Guide for Paper Enthusiasts.... - I love paper arts and either dabble or dive into them depending on my schedule, need to indulge, budget, etc, and I've been committing a greater-than-average amount of time into paper arts booka for the last year. I've got a bookcase of some really cute books, some informative, and some works or art that I will never master. This book has it all, and then some. Photos, text, templates, bound in a really thick book. Not the usual craft book. There is a section devoted to the "examples" they have made for clients, all 75 flowers are magical. The next section describes the materials used to make paper flowers. The fact that they don't force any brand is a plus, if you aren't new to paper arts, you already have most of the materials, except, perhaps, for the stems and centers. The skills section is vital unless you are an expert in creating paper flowers. It is really useful that they have picture and text intermixed and that they break down flowers to their smallest parts. (center, stamen, stem, petal, etc) Each technique is introduced "contextually". So many helpful images of action and steps. Different means of shaping for different paper and a focus on creating rounded, organic forms. Because that is what nature is, correct? Organic, rounded flowers, no matter what colors you use are going to look amazingly real, just like all of the examples in the book, over something straight, flat, and fake. There is none of that in this guide. Not in the images or the writing, or even their style, it is really natural, beautiful and likeable. The how-to section gives you just that for each one of those 75 flowers, broken down to their visual individual parts, and marks the skill level of each one. They are using a scale, of 1,2 or 3,; 1(basic techniques) to 3 (advanced techniques). The authors are so kind as to give us some advice as how someone with a solid 2 level skill could modify a 3 flower project to their strengths, which I find especially helpful, and give you a rubric for mastery at each level. This is something more "high-level" crafters need to include in their guides; not just beginner techniques, not just advanced techniques or looks, but what does the spectrum look like, what does it include? How can I take a project that is too advanced and target it towards my level (What to remove in the flower? What to add to make the project look good, help me improve skills, but not look like my 3rd grader did it?) After the how-tos, as the other reviewers have stated, there are pages of templates to the shapes used for the flower - well over 200. They include a good source guide. One warning to the paper newbie, some of this paper and related materials can be extremely expensive. You can go through and find the materials that work for you and your project(s) at any price point with the variety of resources the authors include. This will be THE paper (handmade) flower book for the year, if not years. What an excellent job this couple has done on their first book (she was an style director at Martha Stewart Weddings and they run a design business), I look forward to seeing more from them! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #174,386 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #156 in Decorating #233 in Crafts & Hobbies Reference #369 in Paper Craft | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (557) | | Dimensions | 8.82 x 0.91 x 10.79 inches | | Edition | 7/28/13 | | ISBN-10 | 0385345054 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0385345057 | | Item Weight | 2.74 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | August 27, 2013 | | Publisher | Potter Craft | ## Images ![Paper to Petal: 75 Whimsical Paper Flowers to Craft by Hand - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WZyCXb7XL.jpg) ![Paper to Petal: 75 Whimsical Paper Flowers to Craft by Hand - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lXqKUcCwL.jpg) ![Paper to Petal: 75 Whimsical Paper Flowers to Craft by Hand - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pA4YkCcOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource for crafters! *by B***D on August 27, 2013* This is a really amazing book and a wonderful resource for crafters of any experience level with paper flowers.

This is THE book. It's extremely well-organized and stunningly photographed, with clear and detailed instructions and relevant supply lists. Above all, this book is the most inspirational paper flower book out there. I read it cover to cover as soon as I opened the package and have made many gorgeous flowers inspired by the images in this book. Absolutely one of the 5 best craft-oriented books I've ever owned. ## Frequently Bought Together - Paper to Petal: 75 Whimsical Paper Flowers to Craft by Hand - The Fine Art of Paper Flowers: A Guide to Making Beautiful and Lifelike Botanicals - Crepe Paper Flowers: The Beginner's Guide to Making and Arranging Beautiful Blooms --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1575935-paper-to-petal-75-whimsical-paper-flowers-to-craft-by](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1575935-paper-to-petal-75-whimsical-paper-flowers-to-craft-by) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
