Fields offers instructions for personalized sunglasses to colorful headbands and original graphic tee-shirts. Most of the projects featured in this book are, for the most part, projects featured in many other craft books. The majority of the projects are about decorating an existing base item rather than constructing something new from scratch. Some of the instructions are imprecise, which can be confusing. The instructions would benefit from photographs to further illustrate the steps. The vividly colorful photographs of the finished projects are eye-catching and attractive and save the volume from being relegated to the “been-there-done-that” pile.
While experienced crafters may find the projects pedestrian, Lazy Crafternoon will encourage young crafters to explore creative pursuits. The materials and projects are basic but satisfying and the visually-appealing format is sure to engage to middle school readers.

Strong 2 star, but not quite enough to round up to 3.
Small book with an assortment of projects. Good for new crafters but not much in-depth for serious crafty types (and yes, even pre-teens can be serious crafters; I was one). The instructions are fairly clear, but also, none of the projects are really that difficult either. Not one I'd buy myself, but it's worth checking out from your library if you are looking for some easy ideas for trying something new, especially with a younger target audience.
Still, there were a few I'd want to try:
* Decoupage shoes - I'd probably use book pages, because (duh) librarian
* Star charms - I've done other beading projects, and a few wire work ones, but have never tried this one with the cookie cutters
