Book Review
DIY Gift Guide - Quirk Books
This book is one that I downloaded on my Kindle, I am always looking for mini projects to try my hand at and this seemed like a useful start. The book was free on Kindle, so I didn't hesitate in ordering. It has a selection of DIY ideas curated by Homemade Quirk, which is a place where people share their stories, ideas and they are not only craft based but have ideas of food gifts and treats.
The book is split into 6 sections - for the bookworm, for the lovebirds, for the kids, for the animal lover, for the foodie, for the geek, and aims to appeal to different needs has a total of 18 projects, 9 of which are food based. The instructions are fairly straight forward to follow.
My favorite 3 projects were making the Tiny books, pink champagne cake which I intend try substituting the wheat and dairy, and the mini candi charms using polymer clay. My least favorite was the cat portraits made with real cat hair (never knew you could do anything with cat hair, although for those with pets this would be a great recycling project. It is a nice book for kids to try their hand at trying to make some of the project, it could have had a few additional ideas or variations on the projects that were listed. All in all as a free publication you can't go far wrong and it is definitely worth a look at least!
