This was a cute collection of ideas and projects. As a new hand letterer I like having the project ideas laid out. The pictures and instructions were clear and easy to follow.

This is a great confidence building book for hand lettering projects. The instructions are clear with nice, detailed pictures. I appreciate the Lettering Refresh section where it shows the different brands and types of pens and what they do. The projects are simple but offer lots of inspiration for anyone who want to try their hand at lettering but don't know where or how to start.

This is a fun book with great ideas for incorporating hand lettering into projects beyond just on the page.

I just recently got into hand lettering and calligraphy and this book is a great way to incorporate this hobby into practical projects. My favorite part is in addition to each projects step by step instructions there are also examples of variations of the project for a wider application. I also like how there are a variety of methods and mediums used in the projects with a clear materials list for each one. I would recommend this book if you are looking for ways to use hand lettering techniques for decorations and gifts.

This book is full of adorable ideas for hand lettering projects. I am still a beginner at hand lettering and have been working through a couple of beginner level workbooks. However, the advice given at the beginning of this book was extremely helpful and tips that I have not found anywhere else. The items in this book include using a wide variety of materials to craft with. I never would have thought about hand lettering on a jean jacket! Each project also includes a list of the best materials to use on the specified medium. If you are interested in hand lettering but stuck on what to make - read this book! Even if you are a beginner like me, you'll want to check this out!

I wanted to like this. I really did. But everything I saw in this book I could find on Pinterest. She had some cute designs, but I don’t know that it’s worth purchasing the book. Her steps and suggested tools were helpful and I’m sure her first book, super simple hand lettering is helpful for those beginning to hand letter.

I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed are my own.

I requested this title mostly because we have a hand-lettering program at my librarian and I wanted to see if this would be a good book to promote and add to our collection.

This is a book of "projects" and not technique. That translates to certain phrases being shown to replicate for these specific uses, not more general technique to learn for your own composition or use.

As a person with zero creativity, I do like having these complete project outlines. Sometimes, though, the projects just aren't super practical or what I'm looking for. This book has a mix of both.

Being a beginner at hand lettering, I jumped at the chance to read and review this new guide full of simple hand lettering projects, There were some things I had already seen before, But I was also happy to see several new ideas I could use even though I'm a novice. I appreciated the technique review at the beginning of the book. I especially liked the idea for the wooden coasters with different types of coffee drinks hand lettered on them. I'm also on the hunt for a globe to do some creative lettering on.

I have been thinking about trying my hand at lettering so I took a look at this book to see what kind of projects I could use it for. This book has some very interesting ideas, not only for decorating for yourself but I could see you easily being able to sell products with these skills too! It has lots of pictures and step-by-step instructions. I would recommend it for those interested in the art. I received an advance copy of the book for review purposes and have furnished an honest review.

The templates rounded the whole book off perfectly.

Super Simple Hand Lettering Projects features cute, Pintrest worthy ideas for beginner calligraphers. Very basic projects with lovely photographs and beautiful samples to accompany them. Visually appealing and extremely straightforward instructions- this would be a nice start for people just learning how to hand letter.

Packed full of activities to prompt your creativity and learn new lettering ideas and forms, Kiley offers plenty of inspiration and room to try out different styles and layouts. Kiley's teaching approach is project-heavy as she assigns the reader activities to implement hand lettering rather than drills. The photography in this book is wonderful! Pictures are very detailed and beautifully laid out. The author, a hand lettering artist, describes in great detail the materials she uses for her hand lettering projects and provides detailed explanations of how to work on different surfaces (chalkboard, wood, glass, etc.). Specific step-by-step instructions and pictures are provided for a variety of how-to DIY creative projects. It helps a newbie learn the skills and techniques of hand-lettering, plus you end up with fifteen beautifully completed projects by the end! I loved the creative lettering styles and projects offered. Clear instructions. Great book all around!However, this book might be better for readers who have some lettering experience but don't know quite how to make their projects a reality.

Great for inspiration for hand lettering projects. It's a limited in scope but the reader picks up a few starting projects that could lead to bigger ones. Very visually appealing and interesting to look at. Reader would have to know how to do hand lettering to complete the projects. This book doesn't have any practice pages or guides to go on. Just a brief warm up of hand lettering. One would have to purchase her other book to learn.
