Book Review & GIVEAWAY! Microcrafts

my version of the "Monster Babies" project designed by Holly Keller

I was very lucky to receive an advanced copy of the book Microcrafts compiled by Margaret McGuire, Alicia Kachmar, Katie Hatz and Friends published by Quirk Books. The book is a collection of itty bitty craft projects that run the whole gamut of crafty funtime goodness. There is a little something for everyone with felting, sewing, polymer clay projects, microcrochet, quilling and even book making! There is a whole lot of inspiration in here!
Most of the projects in the book are very easy and make for great "naptime crafting." The photos and illustrations are excellent and the instructions are clear and well-written. Plus, there is an extra section in the back that elaborates on special supplies and techniques you may need to make these tiny treasures. The book has lots of suggestions on what to do with the crafts once you finish them. I, personally, am a little obsessive about finding and making cute gift toppers, and just about everything in this book could be used to jazz up a present.

And now I am giving one lucky reader my copy of Microcrafts!
