About This Book

A practical, illustrated handbook that encourages girls to develop manual skill and resourcefulness through a variety of do-it-yourself projects. It begins with basic workshop guidance and simple carpentry for small furniture and fittings, then moves to decorative and seasonal crafts using eggs, paper, and natural materials. Sections cover collecting and mounting pictures, making valentines, vegetable animals and lanterns, pasteboard models, ink sketches, moving toys, homemade pyrotechnics, monotype printing, and Priscilla rugs with dyeing techniques. Each project emphasizes step-by-step instruction, accessible tools and materials, and opportunities for creative play and useful household work.
