What’s better than a craft
book? How about a binder full of craft books?
Look What You Can Make With Dozens of Household Items! is a
collection of 8 craft books including easy-to-follow instructions
for more than 500 different projects. All the crafts are made from
household materials, using simple techniques that work. Clear color
photos of the finished products make it even easier to follow the
instructions.
Look What You Can Make With Dozens of Household Items!
includes crafts
using:
- Boxes – Trains and tractors, baskets and
banks, puppets and playthings, games and guitars
- Paper Bags – Puppets and piñatas,
scrapbooks and scarecrows, mobiles and maracas, banners and
baskets
- Tubes – Rockets and robots, flags and
forts, clowns and candles, and playmates
- Paper Plates – Pigs and pugs, spacecraft
and spirals, mobiles and marionettes, puzzles and playmates
- Egg Cartons – Alligators and airplanes,
bulletin boards and baskets, castles and caterpillars, masks and
magnets
- Craft Sticks – Bug magnets and picture
frames, bracelets and masks, games and holiday ornaments, finger
puppets and mobiles
- Newspapers, Magazines, and Greeting Cards
– papier-maché banks and gift boxes, newspaper dolls and puppet
pals, custom containers and greeting-card frames, designer
envelopes and doorknob decorations
- Plastic Bottles – Teapot tea-bag holders
and berry-basket frames, patchwork purses, hats, bottle banks
and bathroom baskets, bookends and baskets.
Especially engaging are the shiny tube robot, the hobby zebra also
made out of a tube, sparkling spirals as party decorations made out
of paper plates, and the puppet theater and puppets made out of egg
cartons. Each book has a labeled tab to make access easy, but
finding something you’ve seen before can be tricky, since the book
does not have an overall index.
This set of eight books provides a wealth of idea sparkers for many hours of craft-making fun for children of all ages. As a grandma who loves crafts, I know what that means: there’s a lot of fun stuff here to do with my two granddaughters!
