In our fast-paced society where so many objects are mass-produced, the most treasured presents are often those which have been made by hand. Who does not enjoy receiving a present custom-made by a friend or relative. Hand-made presents lend a welcome personal touch that is as appreciated no matter what the occasion. The Book of Presents is packed with exciting ideas for making a great variety of presents for men and women, children and adults. This handsome book, illustrated with beautiful color and black-and-white photographs, provides the designs and instructions for making nearly 100 presents in such areas as: Carfts, Cookery, Sewing, Carpentry, Crochet, Knitting. There are recipes for delicious things to eat, and ideas for useful round-the-house items and colorful toys-everything form a luscious marmalade to a sturdy tool hanger to a stuffed panda bear. Imaginative suggesitons for present wrapping, lively designs for decorative motifs, and invaluable hints for getting a professional look ensure a presentation equal in style and creativity to the present itself. Most of the presents have been especially designed for this book. They are both easy and fun to make. Clear step-by-step instructions, along with diagrams and patterns allow even beginners to create presents to be proud of.
