Review by Library Journal Review

Bunting patterns are a mainstay of crafting books-they're generally easy to make, and they add a quirky essence to household decor. Sheldon (Shrink! Shrank! Shrunk! Make Stylish Shrink Plastic Jewelry) and Carestio (Never Been Stitched) curate this collection of garlands and buntings made from paper, fabric, felt, yarn, and various ephemera. The styles are surprisingly varied, including a simple-yet-modern garland of paper circles sewn together, a banner featuring felt forest animals and trees, and a decorative bunting constructed from holiday cookie cutters. Levels of difficulty range from simple crafts created with scissors, string, and a hole punch to more intricate pieces using cutting templates or hand embroidery. The instructions are straightforward, and templates for cutting and stitching are provided. Contributors include a cadre of well-known crafters, including Mollie -Johanson (Stitch Love), Aimee Ray (the "Doodle Stitching" series), and Cynthia Shaffer (Coastal Crafts). VERDICT The abundance of cute, unusual ideas in this fun collection will appeal to a variety of crafters. © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
