Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–An introductory quiz will help readers determine their style ("Jewelry Hound," "Neat Freak," "Party Priestess," "Spa Guru," etc.) and guide them to the crafts that will appeal to them. Several pages of essential information about supplies, tools, color mixtures, and hints for setting up a craft area at home will get them started. Many clever ideas and designs are included. A scale indicates each project's level of difficulty, and a list of supplies, step-by-step directions, and a color photograph of the finished project are provided. The tone is chatty and familiar. Tips, words of wisdom, ideas for games, and bits of trivia are found throughout. Spot-art illustrations are bright and eye-catching. Appendixes include clip art, doodling instructions, a blank journal page, templates for several projects, and a list of craft materials suppliers with Web addresses. The lack of an index is a drawback. This book will appeal to a more mature audience than Jennifer Traig's "Crafty Girl" series (Chronicle) and may be of interest to adults working with preteens and teens.–Elizabeth Stumpf, Clearfield Middle School, PA

Product Description
The Crafty Diva's D.I.Y. Stylebook is filled with more than 50 all-new do-it-yourself craft projects that celebrate the many sides of tween girls. Snappy mini-chapters are organized by "style"-from animal lover and beautiful bohemian to party girl and flashy fashionista-each featuring three chic, affordable, step-by-step projects illustrated with whimsical illustrations and color photos. Coded as easy, moderate, or difficult, the projects utilize a variety of applications, giving girls a foundation of general craft experience and teaching them to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Packed with materials for the less experienced crafter, the book includes an introduction to craft tools and techniques, tips on creating a crafty corner in which to work, a crash course in doodling, and even a journal page and quiz to inspire each girl's unique creative spark. Helpful add-ons like a built-in ruler, color mixing chart, and inch/cm/ft conversion chart make it that much easier to get started. Whatever their skill level, tweens will love making, sharing, and showing off these fun, easy projects!
