Craft Smart Bind-up - Hardcover

Discover fun new crafts and techniques in this series. Learn to knit, make your own jewellery and create fantastic projects out of paper and recycled materials.

Following on from the successful Art Smart series, Craft Smart presents a fresh, fun approach to four creative skills: knitting, jewellery-making, paper-crafting and crafting with recycled objects.

Each book contains 12 original projects to make, using a range of readily available materials. There are projects for boys and girls, carefully chosen to appeal to readers of all abilities. Each project is graded with a difficulty rating of 1 to 5.

A special ‘techniques and materials’ section encourages young crafters to try out their own ideas while learning valuable practical skills.
