Craft is back and people of all ages are discovering or rediscovering, the joys of making something by hand. Not only is it a great antidote to conspicuous consumerism, it also gives you something to do while winding down, gossiping, watching TV or listening to your favourite music. The projects in this book are simple enough for the complete beginner with clear instructions and tips on basic techniques. The designs are deliberately chosen so that even a novice will be able to achieve a good finish and ensuring that "home-made" is something smart and even chic and not a term of abuse.

Review by: Mobile Crafts
"This has been the best book I have seen in the craft market in a long time. I teach to all levels and abilities and took this book along with me to craft evenings this week and children as young as 7 were able to follow the clear instructions and make things. I would highly recommend this book to anyone of any abilities as the instructions are clear and easy to follow." Mobile Crafts
