Crafty Mama: Makes 49 Fast, Fabulous, Foolproof (Baby & Toddler) Projects Editorial Review:
Marrying the new mother’s need to connect and the community spirit of crafting—think reading groups, Stitch ’n Bitch knitting circles, and, of course, playgroups—is The Crafty Mamas, a unique idea in DIY and a full-color guide filled with baby-related projects, essential techniques, tips on how to form a group, wisdom, inspiration, and camaraderie.
Abby Pecoriello launched the first-ever crafting club for new moms during her maternity leave. The concept proved to be such a hit that in the two and a half years since, she’s led hundreds of sold-out Crafty Mamas classes throughout New York City. Now, in this spirited, witty book, she provides the how-to for women to form their own Crafty Mamas groups, from learning the best ways to reach out to other new moms in the area, to the nuts-and-bolts of running the group: setting a budget, buying tools and supplies, choosing a venue, and more. Then come the projects—50 hip, no-sew craft ideas that are inexpensive and easy to make, and will delight moms and babies alike: “Light the Night” nightlight, No-Sew Swanky Blankies, The Poncherello, Photo Au Go Go Bracelets, Hip Purses, Insta-Bibs, Peek-a-Books, Photo Bragnets. Includes simple tutorials on using a glue gun, editing digital photos, how to decoupage, jewelry basics, and more.
Customer Reviews:
Great!
This book has a lot of fun and easy projects that don't take a lot of time, which as we all know, moms don't have a lot of. My favorite is the mohawk hat. It is really easy to read and follow directions as well. Great overall- price too!
What about the Crafty Daddy?!
(Insert Man's voice) I just looked thru the book and have come to the conclusion that men can use it as well! How grand is that? In behalf of all men with time, kids or a stick of glue, thank you Crafty Mama!
Fun, fun, fun!
I am so excited to have this book finally. It is great for both the advanced and novice crafter. The fleece projects are worlds of fun, especially if sewing isn't your strong suit,the one adopted for the Boppy pillow is cute and great for young hands, the Insta-Bib clip is clever, cute and simple. The projects are really various and a little something for everyone. Also, something I loved in this book were the resources in the front to connect with other crafty moms. I was feeling a little isolated when I picked up this book and now Abby Pecoriello has provided not only fun projects, but places to meet other parents to make them with! Brilliant!
This "Crafty Mama" applauds Abby Pecoriello!
This book is fabulous! Whether you're super crafty, or just so-so, everyone will love this book. Each activity is rated according to the cost, the time, the skill, and "how ga-ga they'll go." It's very cute and helpful to new mothers who prioritize everything! There is quite a range of craft ideas and each one is super-cute. I highly recommend Crafty Mama.
