The Encyclopedia of Two-hour Craft Projects

It’s seven books in one, with appliqu�, beading, cross-stitch, mini-quilts, painted wood, and so much more: a crafter can have endless fun with the variety of techniques and projects in this absolutely huge, color-filled collection. With everything from bars of soap embellished with bay leaves or orange slices to bottles of baby dill and chili pepper vinegar to painted planter pots, there’s something for everyone to make and the instructions, drawings, photos, and designs to explain how. Sew up a happy Halloween appliqu� with a smiling jack-o’-lantern and black cats. Fashion French wire earrings with freshwater pearls, purple crystals, or goldstone beads. Stitch seasonal samplers, and gather a beautiful bouquet or air-dried long-stemmed leaves and flowers. No crafter’s bookshelf is complete without this.
