5.0 out of 5 stars Perk up your Patio!, April 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Outdoor Decor : Decorative Projects for the Porch, Patio & Yard (Arts & Crafts for Home Decorating Series) (Paperback)

This book has some wonderful (and beautiful) ideas for your yard and patio. Instructions for making wimsical painted tables, bird feeders from natural materials, fountains from stock terra-cotta, trellises, how to build and decorate birdhouses, how to make windsocks and banners as well as ideas for container gardening, planters, hanging pots, water gardens and more, I think it's a terrific book for do-it-yourself types!

This review is from: Outdoor Decor : Decorative Projects for the Porch, Patio & Yard (Arts & Crafts for Home Decorating Series) (Paperback)

I picked this book up hurriedly and found it to be excellent. I have a gift shop that I have displayed some of my crafts that I made and I am unable to keep them in the store for the enjoyment of my customers. Everyone wanted to purchase the terracotta fountains especially. The book is easy to follow that any beginner would be able to do. I could not recommend it more highly.
