DIY decor fun
Make in a Day: Wedding Crafts is a new collection of 15 DIY tutorial projects which don't require a large commitment of cash or time. There are a number of these "Make in a day" booklets and this one shares the same format.Released 16th Jan 2019 by Dover publications, it's 66 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.All of the projects include easily sourced materials and full color photographed tutorials. The projects are easy and generally very attractive. Most of them are not wedding specific and could be adapted to gift giving, home decor or other uses without any trouble. Some of them would be appropriate to create in a classroom setting as a parent gift. I'm thinking especially of the thank you gift in a berry basket on pages 16-19.This is a nice booklet for people planning a get together on a budget and looking for a little DIY fun at the same time.Three and a half stars, rounded up for the very nice tutorial format.Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Fun Crafts for Weddings and Other Celebrations
Weddings these days can cost as much as our first house. I’ll admit that house was purchased in 1977, but wouldn’t you like to spend less money on your decorations and use that savings for your honeymoon? Natalie Wright has created cute, budget friendly wedding crafts to make your special wedding day perfect.From place cards to centerpieces she has you covered. The complete, detailed instructions for each and every one of the 15 projects are included. Lists of materials, pictures and written instructions of each step as well as beautiful color photos of the finished items are included.If you don’t have a wedding coming up in your family, look outside the box. This book will give you great ideas for birthday parties and other celebrations. You are only limited by your imagination. For example, the Glitter Sneakers are destined to be a hit with your daughter! Easy to make with four items, this craft would be a huge hit during a sleepover. Just have the girls bring a new pair of white canvas sneakers, you provide the craft glue and glitter and each of them can create something they will all love. As a mom, I would do this craft outside because we all know that glitter seems to magically multiply when used in the house.My favorite craft in the book is the Wood Lantern. You can make it rustic or chic, depending upon your décor. There are two sizes so they could be used as centerpieces or decorations. Personalized by the stain or paint you choose as well as filling them with candles, fresh flowers or potted plants. They will fit beautifully in your wedding or party. The best thing about them is that they will be used after the festivities on your deck, porch or inside your home to remind you of your special day.DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONNECTION: I have a material connection because I received a review copy from Dover Publications in exchange for a fair and honest review.Copyright © 2019 Laura Hartman
