[amazon asin=1451698593&amp;template=thumbnail]This book would be a good start, although some of the projects aren&#8217;t for me. The instructions in this craft instruction book are clear and easy to follow for even the novice crafter, and you can scan the photos for links to step-by-step tutorial videos (I didn&#8217;t use this option, but it&#8217;s nice to know such things exist). The crafts are pretty low intensity, though not everything is cheap. <em>P.S.<\/em> includes some dyeing, sewing, and gluing projects, and after most of the short party-themed sections there is a super-simple &#8220;Craft Math&#8221; section showing how to combine two or three items into one new project. If you&#8217;re hosting a party and want some easy DIY decorations (there are even some fashion projects here), take a look at this. I was unaware of the author&#8217;s website before this, but I&#8217;ll be sure to check it out soon.<\/p>\n<p>Received as a digital ARC via Netgalley and the publisher.<\/p>\n<p>[amazon asin=&amp;text=See book on Amazon]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love DIY, and maybe I&#8217;ll do more of it someday (I&#8217;m looking at you, Pinterest board).
