Me pareció muy claro y muy práctico. Muy recomendable tanto para personas que quieren hacer bisutería como pasatiempo como para negocio. Comienza con la decoración del papel, lo que me pareció muy interesante, porque le da un toque de originalidad a cada uno de los diseños. También me parece interesante la figura de origami seleccionada y la selección de los materiales

Es agradable, claro y práctico... Sólo se hecha de menos la variedad de modelos, como los pendientes de cuadro que tiene, pero todo lo demás está muy bien. Gracias por todo y bendiciones cósmicas ^^.
