Start with single snowflakes for cutouts and embellishments, and then move to the more delicate wall art, wreaths, and a 3-D Christmas Angel. To save time, you can even fold and cut the designs to make multiples at once. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and line illustrations guide you throughout, together with inspirational photography of the finished projects. Fifty pages of original templates—which you can scan, trace, or cut—are grouped together at the back of the book, in addition to a template directory with extra patterns to mix and match into your own work.
