Quilling, creating paper pulp, wrapping, and designing mosaic and decoupage are just a few of the techniques readers will learn as they create useful items such as bowls and photo frames, or decorative ones such as ornaments and nameplates. Thirteen inventive projects per volume range in difficulty from the super simple ""Bookshelf Zoo"" (Style), which involves cutting out matching shapes from contrasting colors of cardstock and gluing them together, to the truly challenging ""Paper Purse"" (Accessories). These crafts allow for a lot of stylistic variation and interpretation, and results will vary depending on crafters' dexterity and creativity. Instructions are detailed and clearly written, but they will test students' ability to interpret and follow instructions as very few process photos are on hand to illustrate the steps.-- ""School Library Journal, Series Made Simple""

Author Information

Jennifer Phillips has been a writer for thirty years, starting out as a newspaper reporter in the Midwest. Her writing has given her a chance to try many fun and interesting things. She tackled crime stories and hung out in police labs long before shows like CSI were around. She's ridden in helicopters, watched surgeries and traveled to 10 countries so far, always on the quest to find a new story. For young readers, she has independently published three other biographies, previously wrote two paper crafting books for Capstone and has sold her work to children's publications as well. Jennifer lives in the Seattle area with her husband, two daughters, one cockatiel bird and a Betta fish rescued from a science class ecosystem experiment.
