This book presents full-color illustrated instructions for creating eleven picture frames with tips on mounting and protecting photos.
Quick Summary
For kids who love making things with their hands, this craft book is a goldmine. Susie Hodge walks readers through creating 11 different picture frames, with clear full-color illustrations that make every step easy to follow. The projects range from simple designs perfect for beginners to more intricate ones that would challenge older kids, so there's something for various skill levels. What I really appreciate is that she doesn't just show how to make the frames she also shares practical tips on mounting photos properly and protecting them, which makes the finished projects actually useful instead of just decorative. This would be great for a kid who's into arts and crafts, or anyone looking for a fun project to do with a parent or grandparent. At around 4,400 words with that 5.7 reading level, it reads quickly while still being substantive enough to feel like a real book rather than a pamphlet.
