Editorial Reviews

Gr 3–6—It might be surprising what someone can come up with in ten minutes with a few standard art supplies and some odds and ends from the recycling bin, scrap bag, or yard. The largely decorative projects in this series, 13 per volume, require basic skills such as gluing, cutting, and design—beyond that, the reasonably foolproof projects are only limited by the crafter's creativity. Seed art, made by gluing seeds to a stiff backing, can be stick figures or professional-level (Nature). Flannel flowers can be simple four-petal posies or layered and frilled like peonies (No-Sew). Fitting so many projects into each book results in a somewhat cramped, though still readable, design. VERDICT Give crafters lots of new ideas with this series.
