Have you ever been standing there with an empty paper towel roll in you hand, sure that you could do something crafty with it but not sure what? Well, author Jodi Levine has the answer for that roll and so many more common household items!
Paper Goods Projects, a Super Make-It Book, is a colorful 112 page book in which the author gives both the instruction and the inspiration to make fun and useful items. The crafts range from simple for kids such as “Doily Butterflies” and “Big Box Blocks” to more complex ones for teens such as “Coffee Filter Water Lilly Table Setting”, “Balloon Planets”, and “Recycled Box Pop-up-Cards”.
The book is full of great ideas for rainy day projects, home-schooling art lessons, hand-made party decorations, or Vacation Bible School crafts, all with supply lists and directions for each project that are clear and easy to follow.
And after learning how to make “Tube Animals” and “Sea Creatures Mobile”, you will be hard pressed to ever throw away another empty paper towel roll!
