fun for the family

This is a treasure trove of beautiful and fun projects in paper mache and fabrics. There is something for everyone in the family here. Picnic basket, doggie bed, figures, wall hangings, animals, planters, bowls, jewelry are just a few of the 100 projects in this book. Full color photo's and instructions to follow or use as a springboard for your own imagination. My stash of fabric remnants from quilting has come in handy. I have made accessories for the bedrooms that match the quilts. There are plenty of projects for the kids too. Piñatas, beads for jewelry making, hats, Halloween and Christmas ornaments. It's been a great outdoors activity at the picnic table for me and the kids. I'm going to make the Victorian style boxes next. The kids want to do the honey bear and a clock for their dresser. Plenty of delightful projects for the family and friends this summer.
