MORE WONDERFUL IDEAS FROM C&T September 11, 2006
Tim Janson (Michigan)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
For several years now, my wife has been making holiday crafts to give away to friends and family as little gifts for Christmas and so we're constantly on the lookout for new ideas and books. My part is usually limited to the drudgery of buying (and paying) for the supplies and doing mundane work such as the cutting while my wife gets all the glory!
"Fast, Fun, and Easy Christmas Decorations" is another fine book from one of our favorite craft book publishers, C&T, who never fails to deliver great new books for each season. While it's only 64 pages it manages to squeeze in a number of quick and easy projects that can be made relatively inexpensively as well. The basic materials are various fabrics, beads, Fast2fuse, cording, glue, and a sewing machine. The individual projects will list all of the material specifics.
There are a number of different 3D ornament projects including spirals, bells, and stars. The look can be anything you want from dazzling and gaudy, to a quaint, country look, all depending on the fabric and embellishment you use. There are also chapters on making your own gift boxes, wreathes, gingerbread houses, and advent calendars, all with these same base materials. The gingerbread house is certainly the most challenging but the end result will make you the envy of your craft-making friends.
You'll probably want to have at least intermediate skill for most of these projects, especially those that require sewing (although there are some no sew projects, too) but you're to enjoy them all. C&T once again has produced a winner.
