Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Complete Home Crafts is a seriously appealing book for the crafter whose main interest is enhancing the home. Even craft fans who don't have time to think about yet another undertaking will no doubt find themselves seduced by one of these 51 simple and lovely projects--whether it's a painted clock for the kitchen, a mosaic bathroom cabinet, or a decoupage wastebasket for the home office. Innes's tips at the end of the book are explicit enough for any beginner, and most of the crafts are inexpensive and don't require an artist's eye for great results. This is truly a part-time crafter's delight.
From Library Journal
Innes's many books on various crafts are generally characterized by excellent artistic taste, and this collection of projects for household items is no exception. Projects are arranged room-by-room and include painting, stitching, decoupage, and other techniques. There are color photographs of works in progress and finished items throughout the book. Inexperienced crafters may want to find supplementary technical material in more specialized books since most projects assume some basic familiarity with techniques.

One of the best decorating/craft books around!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Home Crafts (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic! The ideas are actually do-able and the directions are clear and concise. After borrowing this book from the library I'm ready to make it a purchase. There are projects in here I would never have tried, but this book made them easy and they turned out beautiful. The book also gives lists of things you will need to do each project. This is the best craft/decorating book I have ever gotton my hands on, And 3 of my friends also vouch for that statement.
