Mary Engelbreit Christmas Craft Ideas Make Good Cheer DIY Arts/Crafts Ideas

In excellent preowned condition. I think I only ever even opened it once to make some elf placemats! Hardcover 192 pages and over 90 different arts and crafts diy ideas. Mary Engelbreit has been inspiring crafters for years with her vibrant, whimsical designs, and her colorful holiday volume Christmas Ideas Make Good Cheer continues the trend. Featuring lots of cross-stitch plus crochet, knitting, painted wood, blanket-stitched appliques, fairly easy sewing, and a bit of polymer clay, the 50 projects all embody Mary's hallmark primary colors and cheerful style. A cross-stitched mitten ornament sports pairs of cherries, her famous "fried egg" flowers bedeck a black velveteen bonnet, a mantelpiece boasts decoupaged wooden letters spelling out Believe. The beautiful cross-stitch projects are somewhat advanced, but most other items can probably be handled by the novice, especially with the extensive directions and clear photos. Mary fans will especially enjoy the fact that every project was inspired by one of her greeting card illustrations, which are featured near the relevant projects. Based on the author's delightful designs and motifs, a wonderful Christmas craft book features such projects that include accessories, wearables, toys, and keepsakes that use such techniques as sewing, cross-stitch, painting, wood crafts, applique, clay, and much more. 35,000 first printing.
