Making Things

“Very scrappy and inspiring!”

“This is the book where I learned to make masu boxes which you can then use to organize your junk drawer! Also there are so many other great crafts & ideas in this book. Erin Boyle, the author, also notably wrote one of the only books on organizing I think is worth reading, Simple Matters.”

“I wrote this book. Recommending it is both compulsory and genuine!”

“A charming book of things to make and craft brought to you by Erin Boyle and Rose Pearlman. It’s really so much more than a craft books. It’s a way of looking at what you already have and what you can make from it plus a lot of different techniques- finger knitting, origami box-making, ways of making string/yarn, etc. I return to this book again and again for ideas on things to make for people’s birthdays, gift-giving, or even basic skills to teach to Girl Scouts! I reference it a lot when I want to find a crafty but chic way of packaging or wrapping a gift. A lot of craft books have some one-offs that might be fun for a minute, but can often require purchasing things you don’t need or excess mess and not enough return on your investment. I think everyone who enjoys making things with their hands should get a copy! And it just has so many ideas for teaching techniques to kids!”

“This book is craft therapy and I love it dearly”
