Críticas

When it comes to crafts books, I can’t get enough. I love-love-love them. The bad part is I’m not as good as I’d like to be. The instructions have to be very simple for me to grasp and I need lots of pictures.

My daughter has taken after me in this and making jewelry is her thing. She’s way better at it than I am. Because of her age, she needs easy-to-follow instructions. You could say we both do.

So when I had an opportunity to review “Junk to Jewelry: A Step-by-step Guide to Using Found Objects in Jewelry You Can Actually Wear” by Brenda Scheweder, I jumped at it. I was amazed to see how many photos with simple to follow instructions. Totally amazing! That’s not all. The materials for the projects are from everyday items and easily obtainable. If you are just starting out, the book gives you a list of places to obtain these treasures. You’ll feel as though you are embarking on the coolest of scavenger hunts.

It doesn’t stop there. There’s a section for the basics which will start you off with tools and materials needed to start you on this new adventure. The how-to make jewelry part of the book is broken down into twelve sections, starting with “From the Hardware Store” where you can make a spring clip charm holder necklace, bicycle chain necklace, and a pluming band bangle and rings. Teens will go crazy over these items!

Over all, there are 31 remarkable projects, plus additional information in the back. The eight-page gallery features stunning examples of artful jewelry to give you more ideas as well as resources available where you can find all sorts of doodads.
