Making Christmas Cards
by Judy Balchin
As the nights draw in and the temperatures fall, cozy up indoors and make some greetings
card for your loved ones to make them feel really special. Thinking up new and interesting
ideas is the hardest part here, but with this handsome book you will just have to collect
the materials...
...This is one of my favorite greetings card books already, and I haven't
had it for long! Embroider on felt, emboss metal, blow the dust
off those glass and silk paints and wrap simple shapes with wire
and those odd beads you've been keeping for ages. Even if you haven't
stuffed your cupboards with all these items the designs are easily
adaptable (e.g. ordinary paints instead of silk paints) and most
of the items are relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain. The
designs vary from traditional with a modern twist to contemporary,
and for once all the cards in the gallery have patterns too! This
makes the book excellent value, and the large stages photographs
are easy to follow making the projects a breeze. For once, easy
doesn't mean plain and children can do several of the projects with
little or no adult supervision. One for the keeper shelf. |
