Easy to use book. Wonderful addition to any bookshelf to make inexpensive beautiful gifts with your child. Also lovely to look at - this woman has style.
I love this book! Kelly Doust now has a great range of books involving crafts for children and adults, concentrating on using repurposed materials. The projects in this book include making door snakes, notebook covers, book bags, clothing, mobiles, pom-pom garlands, napkins, fabric boxes, pillowcases, pencil cases, finger puppets, face masks, bathrobes, cutlery holders and much much more. It is great value for money, a gorgeous book, and one to keep you and your children entertained for years!!
