Book Review | Mollie Makes Christmas: Living and Loving a Handmade Holiday
Reported by Kortney Gold
I love all things Christmas! It’s the one time of the year when I can decorate my house from top to bottom in glittery goods and no one thinks I’m a crazy person. Maybe I’m just a little more festive than the average bear. I was so excited to get my paws on Mollie Makes Christmas: Living and Loving a Handmade Holiday by Mollie Makes (published by Interweave). This adorable book is so beautifully laid out with vintage Christmas charm.
Mollie Makes Christmas contains ideas from felting to paper crafts with projects for crafters of all skill levels. In my opinion, a good holiday craft is one that can be completed pretty quickly since time is of the essence this time of year. I like how this book considers the time constraints when making holiday crafts. In fact, most of the ideas in this book can be completed in a few hours or less.
I loved the simplicity of the projects, the variety of projects, and the clear directions in this book. Mollie Makes Christmas: Living and Loving a Handmade Holiday by Mollie Makes really is a great book that I would strongly recommend to anyone interested in homemade holiday crafts.
Pros:
- Includes projects for beginners
- Beautiful photos and layout
Cons:
- Many crafts require basic sewing, knitting, or crocheting experience
- Only 20 crafts included
