Synopsis

Collect your memories and mementos in journals that you can make as special as the words and treasures stored inside. Packed with fantastic full-color photos, this guide features more than 30 creative projects and all the “how-tos” you need. Start from scratch or decorate a store-bought book. Have fun shopping for supplies and searching for “recyclable” items to use at home, and then start crafting. Treat your friends to mini, personalized notebooks that can be worn as bracelets. Have a game that’s missing too many pieces to play? Use the game cards or play money to make tiny books! Stash photos, ticket stubs, programs and other highlights of the school year in a book with envelope pages. A magnetic notebook with an attached pen is especially handy inside your locker, and a journal with a tie-dye cover is perfect for recording dreams.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-8–A colorfully photographed and designed cover will attract youngsters to the dozens of unique and creative craft ideas in this volume. "Gather Your Supplies" suggests places to obtain materials, from office-supply and craft stores to recycled household items, followed by "4 Easy Ways to Make a Basic Book." Visually appealing projects each include a sharp photograph of the completed craft (many are full page) and color illustrations. A section also addresses lettering, decorating, laminating, and binding supplies, glues, and tapes. Boxed text adds information ranging from "using the patterns" and "making pop art" to step-by-step directions (5 to 13 steps each). Paper, faux fur, fabric, felt, silk flowers, craft foam, ribbon, key rings, and pom-poms are some of the materials used. Craft-minded kids will appreciate this lovely book.–Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
