Description
Practical as well as pretty, these simple, stylish projects really will inspire you to make your life a little easier and a little brighter. Like many working mothers, Joanna knows that life is busy and finding time to be creative often ends up at the bottom of the priority list. That's why her motto is 'minimum effort, maximum return'. Making things for yourself and others means they can be more personal, unique, thoughtful and satisfying - and usually a fraction of the cost of buying something similar. The book is divided into three chapters: * Home - including stylish hanging bookshelves, simple curtains, magnetic spice jar storage and an oilcloth shopping bag. * Giving - including lace-printed clay tea-light covers, simple candles, a knitted Kindle cover, a charm bracelet and chocolate honeycomb. * Celebrations - including a golden chocolate egg for Easter, hanging firefly lanterns for Diwali, fabric-covered lanterns for Chinese New Year, salt-dough star garlands for Christmas. Some projects can be done in minutes, others take a bit longer to craft, but all are very simple. Live, give and celebrate in style.
