Book Review: Make in a Day Pompom crafts
Make in a Day Pompom Crafts is a book that has some simple and unique ideas that involve all sorts of pompoms. There are detailed and easy to follow instructions with many gorgeous photos to compliment each project. There are ideas ranging from simple bookmarks to cake decorations and if you are planning a party, this craft book does contain quite a few inexpensive and interesting party decorating ideas.
Perfect for Tweens
While I did find this book enjoyable, I do believe that this would be a perfect crafting book for tweens. The projects are very simple and I was expecting some more elaborate ideas for my own decorating and gift giving projects. Also, the author suggests the purchase of different sized pompom makers and I felt that this was unnecessary, as there are so many do-it-yourself pompom making ideas out there.
One idea that I found really useful was to use a fork to create small pompoms. I used this technique to create the bookmarks and pencil toppers. It was really quite easy.
So, if you are in the mood to create something simple, I do suggest taking a look at Make in a Day Pompom Crafts. I would recommend this book to anyone with minimal crafting experience and a desire to make some easy decorations.

I don’t ever have time to do crafts… But maybe there is one thing in the book that takes less than five that I could do for fun?!
