Famous in Japan for his three-dimensional pop-up art, Seiji Tsukimoto teaches readers to make 15 amazing globe-shaped, decorative paper forms using only cutting and folding--and how to customize each design, turning them into unique pieces. In this latest book in his "Wonderful Paper Spheres" series, Tsukimoto presents designs that draw on a variety of themes:

Classic Children's Tales:
* Cinderella
* Alice's Teatime

Holidays:
* Christmas
* Easter

Special Celebrations:
* Birthdays
* Weddings

And More!

Each design folds down to a flat surface and, when pressed at both ends, shifts to a sphere that features images, messages, and intricate patterns. Readers will learn to assemble forms with 3, 6, 10, and 18 rings in five difficulty levels--super novice, novice, intermediate, advanced, and advanced designs with doors.

Once they've mastered the designs, readers can use the ready-to-assemble templates to customize their own spherical pop-up forms, which can be displayed or presented to family and friends, who will enjoy and treasure these personalized creations for years to come.
