Here’s more on Paula Milner and her new book, Simple Paper Flowers:

Simple Paper Flowers teaches the reader how to make 25 gorgeous, unique and achievable paper flowers. From festive holly to delicate primroses and golden marigolds, these paper flowers are astonishing in how realistic they look and how versatile they are – they can be used in bouquets, buttonholes, garlands and in many other ways. Mainly constructed from floristry wire, crepe paper and card, few materials are required. They are perfect for beginners but will also attract experienced crafters who can put their own imprint on the finished make. The book has been included in the Highly Commended in the Creative Book Awards in the Best New Author category.

Paula Milner aka the Crafty Lass is a crafter and teacher and in her debut book she shares her love of paper flowers. This guide shows you how to turn flat paper – very quickly and simply – into something three-dimensional and joyous. Projects include: Poppy, Peony, Cosmos, Clematis, Japanese Anemone and French Marigold, and many more!

Paula has studied each flower construction to truly understand how they can be recreated in paper form – but without them being so hyper-realistic that they are complex and off-putting. They are simple, but they are not so ‘simple’ that they are just ‘easy’. These projects are meant to feel approachable but also rewarding.
