{"product_id":"tuttle-japanese-paper-flowers","title":"Japanese Paper Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrecise scissors, good paper, patience, these three elements combine to create kirigami flowers that genuinely fool the eye. Hiromi Yamazaki's approach strips away intimidating complexity, revealing how thoughtful cuts and strategic folding transform flat sheets into dimensional blooms. Each of the thirty-one designs breaks down into clear, manageable steps that build your skills progressively. Early projects establish fundamental cutting and shaping techniques; later designs layer those basics into increasingly sophisticated forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book emphasizes realistic detail over stylization. You'll learn how petals curve naturally, how stamens cluster, how leaves attach convincingly. Yamazaki includes templates and detailed photographs that show exactly where to cut, fold, and shape. The 8.5×8.5 format keeps reference images large enough to see crucial details while working. Projects range from single-stem compositions to elaborate arrangements, all designed to maintain structural integrity once assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese flowers don't require specialized Japanese papers, standard cardstock and tissue work perfectly. No glue guns, no wire armatures, no elaborate tools. Just paper, scissors, and the systematic approach that makes traditional Japanese paper crafts so satisfying. The results hold up to close inspection and never need watering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tuttle","offers":[{"title":"each","offer_id":47974049480933,"sku":"76844","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s76844.jpg?v=1770299852","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/tuttle-japanese-paper-flowers","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
