The Scrap Craft Project Book

More cute than cutesy, these projects embody scrap crafting with a country flair. The charming and plentiful folk-art ideas are easily whipped up from craft-room leftovers. Outfit your kitchen with sunflower-bedecked accessories; accent your bathroom with nautical or fish motifs; fill a child's room with star-themed items; concoct delightful holiday decor; create pillows, wall hangings, table settings, aprons, door stops, even a hot-water bottle cover. Not only will you have nice-looking things to perk up your home or to give to friends, you'll also find countless ways to recycle all those odd bits of fabric and trimmings that are too small for major projects but just too good to throw away. --Amy Handy
