Discover the Joys of Crafting!
A Reference for the Rest of Us.
For anyone who has always wanted to explore their artistic side but has felt all thumbs, this book is a veritable manual of inspiration. Unlike many craft books on the market, 'Crafts For Dummies' doesn't baffle you with complex instructions, hard-to-find materials, or presume prior knowledge.
The book is packed with tips on techniques that usually foil first-time craft-makers, such as how to buy and measure materials, copy designs, enlarge patterns, and customise crafts templates. Easy sewing and needlecrafts are covered, as are painting and paper crafts. Popular techniques such as stencilling, decorative furniture painting, preserving and framing old photos are given modern appeal by the author who also includes chapters on nature crafts, sections on holiday crafts and projects tailored for kids. This is the perfect book for family fun, rainy-day projects or decorative ideas.
