"These beautiful paper flowers can be used in bouquets, buttonholes, garlands and many other ways. Mainly constructed from floristry wire, crepe paper and card stock, few materials are required. These DIY projects are ideal for the novice, but will also interest experienced crafters seeking to put their own imprint on the finished blooms."—Mid-West Book Review

"An outstanding first book from 'The Crafty Lass' Paula Milner. Paula's style is so warm and positive I feel like a friend is gently guiding me through the process. The quality of paper and magnificent photographs - along with the clarity and simplicity of her instructions - are first-rate, with the finished flowers being so wonderfully inventive and also very authentic. I have never been so excited by crepe paper, wire and a glue gun - just longing to get started!"—Julie Peasgood (Creative Book Awards 2025 Judge)
