Two-Hour Christmas Crafts: 200 Inspirational Decorating Ideas to Celebrate the Season (Hardcover)

Amazon.com Review

Everyone runs short of time at the holidays, but busy crafters can easily squeeze in dozens of extra projects with the quick and easy ideas in Michele Thompson's Two-Hour Christmas Crafts. The slightly overcrowded but well-photographed pages are crammed with ornaments, stockings, candlesticks, topiaries, wreaths, decorative boxes and bottles, picture frames, centerpieces, card holders, lamp shades, guest towels, and more--some nicely glitzy, some quaintly country, some romantically Victorian.

Directions are quite brief and occasionally too superficial, but most are adequate for these fairly simple projects, and patterns are included where necessary. Beginners can seek further help from the general instructions section, which helps clarify the basics of decoupage, fabric painting, wirework, polymer clay, and other common techniques. More advanced crafters will appreciate the quantity of pretty projects they can whip up--often in far less than two hours. --Amy Handy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Oodles and oodles of christmas projects is styles from country to victorian and on to asian and modern. The full page, full color photos of the finished items are great. There are even more ideas in the general instruction section. Great book!
