The Big Ass Book of Crafts by Mark Montano Review



Montano, Mark. The Big-Ass Book of Crafts 2. Gallery Books, New York. [383 p]. [$19.99].
9 781451 0627800

A nice collection of crafts that may peak a teen's interest compiled in one place. However, with the advent of the internet and in particular, Pinterest, teens may not even be aware of the existence of craft books. This book contains step by step instructions on how to compete various crafts ranging from the fashion oriented (headbands, belts, updating an old pair of shoes) to those that serve a functional purpose (vases, paperweights), and is bound to please a range of personalities. Because of teens frequent use of the internet this book may better serve librarians looking to run a craft program on their own, without the help of an outside performer.
