Little Felted Dogs, Easy Projects for Making Adorable Pups

 I don't know anything about felting, but I love felted items and these little pups are just the cutest thing ever! I wanted to wait until we could get the supplies to actually try making one of these little guys, but we weren't able to do that yet. My daughter is great at miniature things like this, and I'm anxious for her to try her hand at these!

This is such a pretty little book, and the photos are excellent. The book includes information on needle felting basics and essential tools, a wool guide, tips on working with wool, and other tips and techniques. Clear instructions and helpful diagrams are included for every dog.

Little Felted Dogs  is a perfect gift for the crafter in your life!

DIY Type (Review)

DIY Type, though a beautifully bound book, was a bit of a surprise. It is actually sort of a glorified set of stencils, with several pages in the front introducing the author, Dana Tanamachi, and presenting some project ideas. I guess I expected more tips, project photos, or...something. The introduction was interesting, especially to a beginning artist like my daughter, and the ideas were helpful. This book is great, but I'm thankful that I received it for free; if I had had to pay for it, I would have been disappointed. I think the book should have included more font sizes and some numerals. 

I give it 3 out of 5 starts.
