When the good folks at Quirk Books asked me to review Microcrafts, I was taken by the stunning photography and promise of cute little things in 25 minutes.
It was an exciting day at our house when this beautiful hardcover book arrived. The girls and I opened it immediately and Oohed and Arred at all the clever ideas. Out of all the projects in the book, the girls HAD to have Monster Babies right away and the tiny diaper sealed the deal.
The girls were most insistent on two eyes, big smiles and legs. While each baby monster took a little longer than 25 minutes to make, the project was simple enough for me to chat and the girls never lost interest. I quickly got used to working on such a tiny scale, and found these little guys easy to make and a great use of felt scrapes.
The girls named their monsters Pink and Purple (obsessed? I think so.)
I was not surprised that this simple and sweet project was designed by Holly Keller of Chez Beeper Bebe - a blog I like to visit.
Next on my to-do list are these pretty spool dolls, and like many projects in the book, I think they would make fun stocking stuffers.
And this little Tom Thumb Card designed by Larissa Holland of mmmcrafts is just delightful!
There are so many lovely crafts in this book that I want to make them all - and so can you. Microcrafts was just released today.
*Please note - while I was not compensated for this review, Quirk books did provide me with a free review copy of the book.
