""It is a small world, after all!""

Microcrafts introduces readers to a world of miniature arts and crafts-each of the 25 projects are no larger than a spool of thread! Simple step-by-step instructions, color photographs, and hand-drawn illustrations provide everything you need to craft scraps of fabric, yarn, and recyclables into tiny treasures.

You'll find tips and tricks for micropapercrafting, microsewing, microcrochet, and even microgardening, plus whimsical ideas for modifying microcrafts into accessories you can wear. No previous crafting experience or pricey materials necessary, just a love of all things small!

Reviews for Microcrafts: Tiny Treasures to Make and Share

For fun and giggles. --Associated Press Small-minded is not a bad thing when it comes to crafting. -- OregonLive.com How do you make cute crafts even cuter? By shrinking them, of course! But cuteness is only part of the appeal--these crafts also use up the random odds and ends that most crafters accumulate as part of their creative process. From tiny stuffed cats and dogs to two-inch tall greeting cards to an impossibly cute mini-solar system mobile, there's inspiration here for crafters of all types. Of course, it takes a lot of talent to work with tiny pieces of fabric, felt, clay, and paper, but with results this sweet, it's worth a try. --Library Journal Fun guide to making all sorts of wee crafts. --Austin American Statesman
