It also shows at a glance the materials necessary for each project, and none of them are expensive or difficult to find.;Whether used as a form of therapy, to help recover forgotten skills, to boost shaky confidence or simply because one enjoys crafts, this book should provide plenty of inspirational ideas for achieving impressive results even if the reader is not particularly artistic.
