SUMMARY- The instructions are great. The projects didn't really work for me and I can't for the life of me tell you why. They are clearly well executed and give you a nice variety within a useful range of floral and star shapes. Maybe I'm reacting to their color palette? Their instructions are clear and have enough supporting diagrams and photos to make them easy to understand and follow. On the aethetics of the projects - your mileage will almost certainly vary.
