Review:
Looking for something different?
Bored with the same old crafts?
Then THIS is the book for you! bringing back the lost art of using PAPER to make not only creative, but amazing art, Matthews shows crafters of all levels, not only new techniques, but some pretty amazing pieces they can make!
Even older kids will be able to master the techniques in these pages! As you can see, each projects not only lists what is needed, but shows a picture of the tools needed, so there is no guessing! Then you are taken step by step, with wonderful colorful photos, though each project!
By having the step by step instructions, you not only make sure you are doing the technique right, but that your project is coming together as it should. ALWAYS a huge plus with craft books! Miss Grace found plenty of projects she wants to tackle at her art coop over the Summer, and many of the projects would be great to work together for gift ideas, or holiday use. For example, the paper flowers above could be made in red, white and blue for the 4th of July! This is the perfect book for Summer fun and creativity!
