Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8?A delightful, enthusiastic, and colorful craft book requiring inexpensive and easily obtainable materials. Kids can make many of these pieces of jewelry with little or no help or supervision. Directions are kept to a minimum, yet readers are given the basics. Every project has numerous full-color photos, illustrations, and diagrams to help interpret the written directions. The book begins with a general list of supplies and safety tips. Although the only tools labeled "special" are needle-nose pliers, many of the other necessary implements may not be lying around the average household. They are, however, easily found in most hardware and/or craft stores. Photos of each tool and the "findings" (clasps, backings, hooks, and wires) are included so they can be identified for purchase. In discussing "Glue," there is simply a warning that different glues are needed for bonding different materials and that the instructions should be read carefully. This title is chock-full of great ideas for art teachers, scout leaders, and crafty kids.?Marilyn Fairbanks, East Junior High, Brockton, MA

Gr. 4^-7. The format is busy and the instructions sometimes haphazard and incomplete, but craft-hungry girls who are comfortable with tools such as pliers, nippers, and scissors will find this book filled with doable ideas for making necklaces, pierced earrings, and pins. Showy and jazzy are the perfect words to describe Gayle's wild designs, most of which can be constructed without too much difficulty from paper, tiny objects gathered from nature, metal, self-hardening clay, or fabric. Safety tips are few. but photos and drawings are plentiful and in full color, and the finished products look very much like children's own work. Stephanie Zvirin
