Description
Crafting and making art is very individual. These moments are completely yours. Even if you don’t have access to all of the materials, you can be creative and experiment. If you prefer to use one type of material over the other, or if you prefer glue over sewing, do so. The main purpose is to enjoy it and create your vision at every moment. There is no need for any special skills for the projects in this book. However, those who sell artwork and wish to obtain the maximum results should stick to the projects and supplies as written. With that being said, there is no right or wrong way to craft and to make art, it comes down to having fun and express yourself. This book contains 92 DIY, crafts and art projects. Under each category, you will find the required supply for each project and a tutorial. At the end of the book, you will find stencils that will help you trace shapes and silhouettes for the projects. This book is the ultimate guide to DIY and Craft projects, organized by subjects. Contains step-by-step photographs and detailed instructions, features - Colors, Nature Craft, Stamps, Washi Tape, Soap Making, Candle Making, Recycling Art, Repurposing, Accessories, Fabric and Textile, Buttons, Paper and Paper Napkins.

About the Author:
My name is Eli Maor. I was raised in a home that breathed art and content. I absorbed creativity with my entire essence. During my youth, I spent hours at my parent’s publishing house - inhaling the color fumes from the printing machines, copying and cutting fonts on old light tables. The publishing house was the first workplace I was exposed to. Over the years, the passion for learning burned within me and I finished my B.A. in Media and business management, and later on started my interior design studies. The media side exposed me to photography and editing. The management side gave me the tools to manage a business. In order to finance my college studies, I worked at art sales booths and sold handmade craft I created – jewelry, wreaths, hair accessories and anything that looked beautiful to me that could make any person or space happier, colorful and creative. Along the way, I created hundreds of pixelart drawings in Griddlers.net. These drawings brought me recognition and a lot of love and appreciation. After my mom passed away I found comfort in creating and sharing my art. I started my YouTube channel that contains many of the ideas, that inspired me to share my everyday lifestyle. The “Craft Kingdom” book was born after years of working with any material I could get my hands on, workshops I taught, accumulating information about crafts and a lot of trial and error. This book contains practical and creative information in order to inspire and motivate anyone to create and embellish everything you wish.

Very cute projects! I like the fact that most of the projects can be made with things found around the house. Great book for summertime crafting with kids! Recommended.

I love Eli Maor! I love this book! So loaded with great ideas I don't know where to begin... I loved the coffee cups painted in nail polish-very original! Also re-doable! Change them seasonally, or by holiday, or whim! Decorating with washi tape was irrisistable;. I can't wait to use it on some item when I redecorate. Soap making, toilet paper tube art, hair jewelry... this book is loaded with cool stuff for kids and adults to make! Photos are really helpful, too. It would make a cool gift for a crafter.

This is a great book for your reference shelf, there is a ton of different types of crafts with very clear instructions and pictures for the beginner or even just for inspiration. This would come in handy for the long summer when looking for ideas to keep the kids busy or just for inspiration for your "artistic" side.

What a wonderful book, full of very simple and easy to make ideas, yet at the same time extremely modern and effective both in the home or as gifts. The supplies are either very easily sourced or available around the house. A book that children would be able to follow and make and an adult would be proud to make and use.
Lovely presented and good photograph instructions. Really good
