Book Reviews of Super Crafty: Over 75 Amazing How-to Projects!

Book Review: Great Alternative to the everyday stuffy crafting
Summary: 4 Stars

Colorful and boldly different. You can learn to craft with retro style. I love the tin flowers, pasties, shrink art, and so much more.
The reason I gave this book 4 stars is because some of the crafts seemed a bit juvenile. I didn't need to relearn how to make the crafts I did when I was in grade school.

Summary of Super Crafty: Over 75 Amazing How-to Projects!

The crafts scene is thriving as Gens X and Y embrace hobbies (rejected as too middlebrow by their baby boomer parents) in order to create something beautiful, functional, and unique. With its sleek design and edgy tone, Super Crafty is the ultimate hipster’s craft guide, with a wide array of accessible projects suitable for all skill levels. The book offers dozens of projects for the home (Easy Etched Glass), wardrobe (One-Afternoon Skirt), body (Flirty Floral Pasties), family pet (Greta’s Tail Warmer), and more. Organized by genre, each chapter uses a rating system to indicate difficulty, cost of materials, and age-appropriateness. “101” sections offer basic instruction in sewing, working with vinyl, jewelry making, and other crafts. A resource guide helps locate supplies, tools, and further inspiration. The authors also contribute thoughtful pieces on the underlying aspects of craft, from activism to therapy, as well as lighthearted vignettes on crafting disasters and favorite art supplies.
