This book is really short and simple. Great pictures and aesthetic~~. :D I copied down a few of the craft instructions. This book is really good for the crafter beginner aka ME. :D

Back to the library this one goes.

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). A lot are fairly straightforward ones that you'll find on Pinterest (like decorating pencils and keyboard with washi tape). Still, it's always nice to have them gathered in one place in hard-copy. The instructions are fairly clear, but also, none of the projects are really that difficult either. I think the two most difficult projects were the tote bag and the tablet cover, as each requires sewing skills. 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.
