Book Review: Create: A Girl’s Guide to DIY, Doodles & Design

Create:  A Girl’s Guide to DIY, Doodles & Design is 140 pages of creativity.  It is probably most appropriate for an early teen girl, maybe 9 – 13.  The crafts are a little complex for young fingers and the “doodles” are certainly grown-up-type coloring.  But for the right age group I think this book would be thrilling.

It offers crafts made with everthing from simple fabric scraps to colorfully-printed duct tape.  They are the sort of practical decorations that a young girl loves like a flowered mirror frame, blue jean tote bag or fabric scrap flip flops.  And I didn’t see any materials that would be very expensive at all – in fact most could be found around any home.

Zondervan, the publisher of Create:  A Girl’s Guide to DIY, Doodles & Design, supplied a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.
