5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to make decorative frames, March 26, 2009

By	imagineer586 (Lakewood, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Decorative Frames from the Crafts Library is a very good book. The frames included in the book are nice and very practical and the instructions to make each frame are very easy to follow. I would highly recommend this book for begining Crafters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go ahead and start framing!, March 27, 2000

By	Happy (Mand., Phils) - See all my reviews

By showing step-by-step projects in a wide array of materials and decorating techniques, this book effectively introduces the novice to the art of creating and embellishing frames, while providing inspiration to the more experienced "framer" at the same time.

Basic instructions on what materials to use and how to construct frames are discussed on the first part. The author then goes on to the projects section, which is split in two: wood and non-wooden frames. Decorating techniques include, but are not limited to, decoupaging, papiermâché, and stencilling. Each project is accompanied with step-by-step photographs which guide the crafter throughout, PLUS color photos showing variations of each frame. In effect, there are more than 20 project ideas in the book.

An added bonus: The gallery sections, which are just so inspiring! Now, there is only one more thing to do: Go ahead and start framing!
