SUMMARY- This was bought as part of a bulk lot of booklets on doll making. It is a neat little scrap craft booklet with some fun projects using recycled materials. I picked up a couple of new techniques that I can use in doll and toy making that I probably wouldn't otherwise have run across. Seeing the ubiquitous bleach bottle on the cover used to make the pink kangaroo and her joey made me laugh. Bleach bottles ruled the craft project materials for about a decade - it felt like every craft magazine and women's magazine that ran craft projects had one in every other issue(that's only a slight exaggeration). Future historians are going to assume we had intense germ phobias or were drinking the stuff - theories will be split. While this booklet isn't specifically about making soft toys, it was still useful to me in that area and so gets a place here...
