Summary: Excellent how-to book for beginners and experienced crafters
Review: The projects in this book are wonderful for beginner crafters, or experienced crafters looking for inspiration to make some gorgeous hair accessories. A variety of techniques are used, including:Using polymer clay Setting and gluing rhinestonesSimple beading techniques Embroidering with beadsUsing feathers and ribbons Painting techniquesCutting and using metal sheet Projects include hair clips (barrettes) & combs, headbands, and slides. What makes this book truly a stand-out in the world of crafting books is the fine photography (beautiful color photographs on almost every page), the excellent step-by-step instructions, the wide variety of designs, and the fact that many of the projects can be made with items you already own. Other items can be easily found at your local craft store. The projects could be completed by older children with adult supervision, or as joint parent-child projects. Such fun!I've used many craft books, and this is one of the very best.
