Klutz® Spool Knit Jewelry Kit 31 reviews
ANNE AKERS JOHNSON
Klutz Press, 2004
Great Book for Starting and Teaching to Knit
I run a knitting circle at a continuation high school where the students learn to knit and then donate the products they make to local homeless shelters for community service hours (toward either probation or graduation). I have personally researched hundreds of "Learn to Knit" style books and this one is by far the VERY best. The illustrations and instructions are excellent, concise and clear. ...

Klutz, 2001
Klutz Strikes Again!
I have to say, I'm a sucker for Klutz books. They give simple, easy to read instructions, and you get all of the supplies to do it with! How fun! The Body Book is my favorite book of all, though. It has tons of recepies for your skin, hair, face, hands, nails, and feet. All the ingredients I have tried so far have made a signifant difference after I tried them! The book includes three essensial ...

Bead Loom Bracelets1 review
Klutz, 2008
Another great Klutz book!
This is a great book for children and adults! The directions are clear with good illustrantions and photos to show the exact steps for creating different types of bracelets. The loom that comes in the kit is a good quality loom, the kit comes with everything needed to get started. Beading on a loom is so addictive you will want to buy beads in every color imaginable so you can create bracelets ...

Makes being a cardmaker easy!
This book is sooo clear, direct and supplies you with all you need but a knife and scissors. (and glue) The ideas were all so easy once you cut the templates and having more than enough product to make one each of the items was a treat!

Great gift for my 13 year old daughter!
We gave this to my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. She's an artistic sort of girl...likes origami, etc so it was right up her alley. We cannot believe all of the cool things she makes with a dollar bill and she can do it anywhere. It's a great conversation starter and has made her popular with her friends! Absolutely would recommend this book!

Fun and Entertaining. Easy to Understand.
I bought this for my nieces, ages 9 and 6. The book was very easy to understand, and the 9 year old had them both playing in minutes! There are several versions of the game, and they were playing them all! Highly recommend this book!

Great introduction to making Hemps!
I have to say that I love this book! I'll admit that it did not come with enough beads or hemp, but you can buy those cheaply at any craft store!! This book has so many patterns to try, and gives the simplest directions! I would definately reccomend this book to people, because it is fun and easy. *I would reccomend it for kids 9 and up*

Easy, easy, easy
We love smoothies in my house, and after I bought this book, I made a trip to the grocery store to stock up on fruits and juices. I spent a couple of hours that evening peeling and chopping fruit for the freezer, and then I was ready to go! We have since enjoyed yummy Mango and Pineapple-Papaya Smoothies, and are looking forward to Strawberry-Mango and Strawberry-Banana Smoothies, as well as a ...

Origami with Other6 reviews

Topeka Bindery, 2003
Best Origami Book for Kids (or the less-coordinated!)
I was assigned the task of teaching 2nd graders an origami project, which seemed reasonable...until I tried folding one piece of paper into something recognizable myself! I had several origami books to reference and this one was hands down the best. The instructions and pictures were clear and easy to read, using simple terms (not the "official origami terms," or whatever, that the other books ...
