Reviews for Better Living Through Origami

[deslivres5 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I received this e-book ARC of Better Living Through Origami through Net Galley from F+W Media in exchange for a truthful review.This book is full of great photos of gorgeous paper-crafted designs for use in the home.I wouldn't classify the designs as true origami, but rather done in an "origami-style", a term the authors use and explain in the introductory chapters. Each of the designs comes with diagrams and instructions to follow with a template (found at the end of the book and on-line).I don't agree with the starred difficulty ratings assigned: even the beginner level projects seemed difficult to me, even with the handy Folding chapter found at the end of the book. But the designs are truly lovely and seem worth the effort to try them out.
