I consider this an ideal craft book:

- Minimal supplies (felt, wire, hot glue, scissors--likely things you have on hand if you're already a felt crafter)
- Many easy-to-follow patterns
- Inspiring projects with suggestions for how to tweak the projects to make them your own

The detail is really special, and the nature of the craft can be easily updated for future fashion trends. A lot of felt flower projects I've seen require a Cricut or purchasing precut felt pieces. I appreciated that all of these patterns can be cut by hand, and that Rajamannar left little imperfections in the final pieces, which made them even more realistic. I love nonperishable flowers, and am excited to have another medium besides paper for making them.

Colorful projects, great photography, excellent stepped-out instructions and templates, and the author's warm & welcoming tone make this a great read for anyone interested in working with wool felt.

I borrowed this book from the local public library.

I am going to be buying this book. I have done a number of rolled felt flowers and they are really lovely, and while I can get a lot of these instructions online, it's sometimes nice to have them collected in a book format for easy reference. The fact that each step has both a description and an image is great for someone who needs both (which I do). I have never worked with fabric stiffener, but it seems to be pretty straight forward (she says with a grimace).

I think I will try to find some of the materials at Michaels this weekend so I can make a lavender stalk or two for my sister-in-law who owns a lavender farm.

If you love making paper, beaded, or fabric flowers, this book is right for you. The book is divided into two major parts: tutorials of the flowers and greenery and the projects themselves. Each tutorial and project are accompanied by step by step photographs and written explanation. This books is definitely a labor of love and is very well done.

I have no buyer's remorse on this craft book. Projects are inspiring and feel so doable that I have already ordered felt.
