Editorial Reviews

11/01/2017
Gr 5–8—Inspire middle schoolers to transform a space with the 13 easy-to-medium projects included in each book of this series. None of the projects make use of special skills or difficult techniques, and materials are limited to inexpensive items, such as scrapbook paper, washi tape, and cardboard, providing potential crafters with many means of self-expression. They can make a dream jar (just a labeled, decorated Mason jar) or stencil a chest of drawers. In many cases, however, truly striking results will require a good eye for aesthetics, not to mention a steady hand. Though readers should not be put off by the graceful design and pastel colors—all of these projects are highly adaptable. A few tweaks to the color scheme and content and crafters can have a punk rock room, an anime wonderland, or a goth paradise. VERDICT Win over avid accessorizers with this series.
