I love this little craft..
It is perfect for a rainy day something to do with the children or just to make the ideal card for someone special.
It would make a terrific gift for loved ones of any age and is so simple it is quite addictive.
It is simple and with full instructions, you can achieve something fabulous with a piece of card and some patterned paper.
Iris folding is nothing to do with the flower but everything to do with the lens of a camera. The idea is to fold your paper and stick them alternately using the template of your chosen shape, until you reach the center, which when turned over looks just a camera lens.It's amazing.
If I have one dislike about this book. it is the templates.. I feel they would have been better placed at the end, purely because you have to photocopy them for simple use. (however you could just trace them). I also enlarged my templates as I found them a bit tiny.
But I really do think that this is a craft for everyone, and it was rather fun to do.
