Product Description

Marrying the new mother’s need to connect and the community spirit of crafting—think reading groups, Stitch ’n Bitch knitting circles, and, of course, playgroups—is The Crafty Mamas, a unique idea in DIY and a full-color guide filled with baby-related projects, essential techniques, tips on how to form a group, wisdom, inspiration, and camaraderie.

Abby Pecoriello launched the first-ever crafting club for new moms during her maternity leave. The concept proved to be such a hit that in the two and a half years since, she’s led hundreds of sold-out Crafty Mamas classes throughout New York City. Now, in this spirited, witty book, she provides the how-to for women to form their own Crafty Mamas groups, from learning the best ways to reach out to other new moms in the area, to the nuts-and-bolts of running the group: setting a budget, buying tools and supplies, choosing a venue, and more. Then come the projects—50 hip, no-sew craft ideas that are inexpensive and easy to make, and will delight moms and babies alike: “Light the Night” nightlight, No-Sew Swanky Blankies, The Poncherello, Photo Au Go Go Bracelets, Hip Purses, Insta-Bibs, Peek-a-Books, Photo Bragnets. Includes simple tutorials on using a glue gun, editing digital photos, how to decoupage, jewelry basics, and more.


From the Back Cover

An inspiring guide to making stylish stuff for your baby, whether by yourself or with a cool Crafty Mamas group. Learn the techniques, from editing digital photos to jewelry basics to mastering the glue gun. Express your inner ga-ga over embellishments: rhinestones, pompoms, ribbons, and beads. And if you’re not a crafty pro, don't worry. These 49 projects are fabulous, fun, and easy—perfect for all skill levels. So enjoy all the pleasure of DIY—and the pride of having the snazziest baby on the block. Includes a "Craftypedia glossary packed with tools and materials, where to buy them, and how much they should cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Crafts Rocks!, August 18, 2008
By Blk (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This book is fantastic. I saw the author on the local news and she seemed brillant, crafty and fabulously fun. The ideas are easy to do and adorable. A great gift for mom and baby!

an update: my 9 year old daughter and I just made a new twin fleece patchwork blanket from the book. It is adorable, she LOVES it, and we had fun making it together. (She also made 2 pillows for her bed). We also decorated a lamps with buttons and trim, per another craft project. My 7 year old son and I made 4 sports themed fleece no-sew pillows. It is very cool that the older kids can do these projects independently as well. Very easy to follow and great ideas. We are going to do picture frames next.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this book!, June 20, 2008
I just got my "Crafty Mama" book and I LOVE it! There are tons of totally simple, affordable "looks-like-I-spent-20-hours-and-a-zillion-dollars" (but I DIDN'T!) craft projects I can't wait to get started on. Plus the writing is hilarious, the instructions are crystal clear and the pictures are totally inspiring! This book is a MUST BUY for any grandma, mama or auntie of a toddler or baby!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, fun crafts for those of us who aren't super crafty., June 11, 2008
By C. Macpherson (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love the projects in this book! I'm a novice (ok, terrible) crafter yet I was able to create these projects flawlessly and they turned out great... and I was able to make tons of great gifts (some for myself!) for super cheap. I definitely recommend this book.
