Bow-wow-WOW! Get your DIY on with these 36 fun dog-themed projects for you and your pet.
From a cute Pomeranian mug to a bone-shaped welcome mat, this companion to Crafting for Cat Ladies features 36 charming projects for dog lovers and their four-legged friends. There are irresistibly adorable items to decorate your home, accessorize your outfits, entertain guests, and (of course) pamper your pooch. And they’re all easy to make, thanks to plenty of step-by-step photos, templates, and beginner-friendly crafting techniques. Bring whimsy to your wardrobe with Dalmatian-print trousers, customize a leash and collar for your cherished pup, design a dachshund shopping bag, create sweet “paw-ty” favors, and so much more!
While I was unimpressed with the minimal effort and quality of the finished crafts (how is cutting welcome mat into a bone-shape really a craft? And please DO NOT glue confetti to paper plates, it is very unappealing!), this title overall has some clever ideas (wiener dog invitations, embroidery pet bandanna) that might inspire the more advanced crafter to put their own spin on things. A good book to checkout from your local library, read and return.
Some of these are cute, most are average. Personally I probably wouldn't make any of them for myself, perhaps one or two I would consider for friends as gifts. I liked that there was a picture doe every craft and templates at the end.
Could’ve been much better, with better crafted projects and better lit photography. This is a cute and quick book to skim through and I'm sure many will be inspired to do something creative for their pets, but, it could have been so much more!!! And then there are some things in here that are simply not real. Crafting a rolling pin to print onto paper will not work because after the first complete revolution of the rolling pin, the ink is exhausted and the subsequent "prints" are poor to non-existent. Why, author, are you leading your hopeful readers to failure?
