A good source for quick ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I like this book because it has ideas for quick projects and a lot of them you can do with kids at home or in a classroom. I didn't know that stencils are so easy to make with heavy plastic sheets and I've made stencils to decorate my bathrooms as well as gift wrapping paper. My kids can just tell me what kinds of rubber stamps they want and I cut them myself - a huge savings and one of a kind designs! I even made a portfolio carrier that I use to carry sheet music to classes and everybody loves it. I highly recommend this book for really easy and usable ideas.
Good book for the beginner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Being new to papermaking, I found this book to be a great starting point. It has a lot of really great photographs but is slightly lacking in photos and illustrations to accompany the instructions. On the positive side, it also includes some basic projects to make with your handmade paper.
