This review is from: Making Gifts in Polymer Clay (Paperback)

These are polymer clay crafts that anyone can do. They look professional. Each one is unique with excellent detailed instructions. The pictures give step by step close ups. You'll look like a pro. Added bonus are the sources listed in the back of the book for some hard to find materials (ie glass water globes for crafts) that you can buy online. You can't go wrong with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a terrific starter book!, July 9, 2001

This review is from: Making Gifts in Polymer Clay (Paperback)

For beginners and intermediate-level clay crafters, this book has a wonderful character of its own. Lots of fun projects, and some intermediate techniques taught, too... but the book is clearly written enough that an 8-10 year old child should be able to follow the instructions.

This book is great! I teach polymer clay classes to children and they can't get enough of the activities we have used from this wonderful guide! The directions are easily understood. Pictures grab the attention. Highly recommend adding this to any book collection.
