If you have teens stuck on duct tape - this book is perfect for them. I tabbed several that would be great at my library including:
* Gift Bow
* Carnation Pens
* Basic Sticker
* Cupcake Purse (everyone needs one of these)
* Headbands
* Rings
* Bookmarks (We've done this before at the library, but they weren't rounded - nor did they have tassels)
Plus obviously you can build upon each of these ideas. Don't fancy a cupcake purse, create a basketball one instead using the same ideas.
The Set-Up:
After the list of tools you can use and setting up your workstation, there's a chapter on basic duct tape techniques.
Great pictures to go along with the instructions
Levels of ease
Time length it should take to complete each project
List of materials
Highlighted tips
I confess, I'm not a huge lover of vegetables (those who know me, know that's a understatement - I really don't like them at all). But I really enjoyed reading this book - it made me think about the foods that I do eat and how I could improve my eating habits.
What I like about this cookbook:
* The Set-up (see below)
* Season dishes: I love the alternatives for dishes depending on fresh food
* I love the idea of fresh food
* Each recipe comes from a teen
*Pictures are great* My favorite part of cookbooks is always the desert section
The Set-Up
Short Essays in the beginning which range from Vegetarianism to Eating LocallyChapter on basic recipes - staples for your kitchen
Easy to follow recipes

ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a great duct tape book to use with my teens. This looks like a great suggestion!
ReplyDeleteI recently ordered Sticky Fingers for my library and was thinking it would be nice to have a copy to give away as a prize during Teen Read Week. Maybe this contest is the answer! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for new non-fiction and these both look wonderful. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love that it has a part on vegetarianism!
ReplyDeleteStinky fingers looks like a great addition to the collection.
