This is a lovely little book and if you ever get your mitts on it, your creative ones at that, I would really recommend it. It's projects are all quite simple and not over complicated like some of the upcoming blogs etc, each step is explained and that makes it really easy to follow.
I really like the homemade soap. :)

March 1, 2022A good range of projects, including biscuit recipes, planters, paper craft and yarn craft.
The book doesn't teach you all the specialised skills you need (and would become way too bloated with instruction if it did), for example, there's a crochet project that assumes you know how to crochet, but that a beginner-level crocheter could absolutely manage.
Many of the projects have suggestions on how to modify the basic idea.
There are some specialised tools and materials that might be tricky to acquire e.g. dried lemon slices for soaps, or not justifiable to buy for a single project e.g. a kitchen blowtorch and a firing brick for making a silver clay pendant. But there are some fun ideas introducing you to a range of crafts, one of which could become a new hobby.
