Review by Library Journal Review

This extensive collection of projects focuses mainly on home decor, with a brief foray into decorative beadwork. The projects are beginner friendly, and individual steps are illustrated with color photographs, making it easy to follow along. Each section contains a brief introduction, familiarizing crafters with the tools and techniques involved in each type of project. The broad coverage includes picture framing, decorative painting on a variety of different surfaces, decoupage, and tile work. The projects are enough to start crafters on a new hobby, and most could be easily modified to suit individual taste. Excellent value for the information provided. (c) Copyright 2011.
