Customer Reviews

Really neat

I bought this as a gift for my sister who has everything and is extremely difficult to buy for. The book was really neat and the instructions were well laid out, I'm just not sure if it will ever be used. Who has time for napkin origami?

A little time please.

Fun ideas for entertaining, but to also amuse little ones on rainy days. I liked the variety of designs, but as stated in other reviews, time to do it. These are not for the "oh oh company will be here in 15 minutes and the table's not set" host/hostess. An iron is quite helpful. The diagrams are detailed and easy to follow, even for the more complex folds. Having a finished photograph is an additional help in showing various table settings as well.

Easy to follow

Well-written with clear instructions and good step-by-step. I liked that there are a variety of shapes included. Many of them are quite challenging. Overall, think this book has the proverbial "something for everyone." If you're looking to dress up your table, this book is a good choice.
