Synopsis
Sometimes you need an idea and inspiration more than a detailed project. Making Things is a celebration of the art and ritual of crafting by hand that encourages a practice in mindfulness, a celebration of skill, and a return to materiality.<br /><br /> Through easy-to-follow tutorials for approximately 50-60 projects that are both accessible and aspirational, Rose and Erin invite readers to take a toe-dip into simple, time-honoured craft traditions. The projects celebrate the satisfaction that comes from slowly and carefully crafting something oneself. Example projects include Fabric Scrap Bunting, Cloth Checkerboards, and Sewn Cardboard Toys.<br /><br /> Requiring little to no skill, and no special equipment, Making Things is the crafting book for all skill levels.
'This book teaches the reader how to make all kinds of beautiful things, but also how to make meaning. It is an antidote to the alienation created by a life of screens, reminding us that we have bodies, and preferences, and are more able than we've grown to believe.' – Jonathan Safran Foer, author of, Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Making Things champions handmade crafts that infuse the no-waste ethos with glamour and fun. Through easy-to-follow tutorials for over 100 projects that are both accessible and aspirational, Making Things invites readers to try their hands at a variety of crafts and celebrate the satisfaction that comes from slowly and carefully creating for oneself. Learn to fold magazine pages into Masu Boxes for organizing bits and bobs, make a cardboard loom for weaving potholders out of old linens, braid your own Kumihimo Dog Leash, or starch fabric scraps for decorative bunting. Makers Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle met in 2018 and immediately struck up a friendship, united by a reverence for everyday objects. Their approach towards craft reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and accessibility as they write in Making Things introduction, Craft can be exquisite and exacting, the result of formal training and years of practice, but it can also be experimental and messy and not quite perfect. Scouring sidewalks, stoops, and thrift stores, the authors repurpose materials to create projects that range from functional to fun and frivolous. Step-by-step guides make it simple to start and finish each project, while the books stunning photographs show how each craft can fit within an organized, thoughtfully curated home. As Making Things demonstrates, relying on a limited range of supplies and repurposing the same materials can spur our creativity, encouraging us to look at a pile of junk on a stoop and see endless possibilities. Make handmade crafts that infuse the no-waste ethos with some glamour and fun. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
