Review for The Paper Girls Show Origami Craft Book

The Paper Girls Show Origami Craft Book 21 Paper Folding Creation by Global Tinker, Origami, Two girls standing in front of various origami projects, craftsI received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I have never heard of the Paper Girls Show, but I do love origami, so here we are! I just had to see if there were some fun new origami to try out!

Before we start the book we get an introduction in the show (or well, ish) and then the main characters, Reese and Caily + side-characters! I just love how everyone looked in both styles. One more animated, the other more paper which is just perfect for a book about origami. After that an introduction on basic folds and special techniques, which I always appreciate is added. I don’t origami daily so it is good to get a refresher course on it.

After that it is project time! I loved that each project came with an introduction/inspiration + a small story from the show and a QR code to the episode the characters made something similar. That definitely gave it something extra over just doing project after project. I haven’t checked out the show, but if I may do so one day. My favourite projects are: the butterfly, the planets, the crown, the robot. I would have liked to see some harder things. A lot of these projects I have seen in other origami books and I would have just liked to see some more originality especially given that there is a whole show about paper and crafts. I am still happy with the projects, but yeah, give me more!

The instructions to the origami were easily followable with good pictures on how to make the folds.

I do like that there are 200-ish pages with just origami paper… however, I am reading this as an ebook and for me it is just useless. It is perfect if you get this book as a physical. But I am not going to print out these papers, a bit too expensive haha.

All in all, I am very happy with this book and I loved that it is centred around a show. I would recommend this for fans of the show or fans of origami!

Star rating, 3 stars
