It’s entirely possible that we are Petit Collage groupies, considering how many times we’ve gushed over their beautifully designed toys, books, and kids’ room decor. And now with Petit Collage 25 Easy Craft + Decor Projects For A Playful Home, we have even more cause to celebrate, because the marvelous artist Lorena Siminovich has written her first book of crafts and decor, with all 25 projects taken straight from her bestselling collection.
Released today, this is a lovely little book that makes for such good eye-candy, you might just want to turn the pages and never attempt a single project. That said, that is unlikely to happen. Even if you are a beginner crafter (ahem, yours truly), the simplicity of the instructions and necessary materials along with Siminovich’s gentle “everyone is an artist” foreword will make you feel like anything is possible. Or at least anything in this book.
Hard-core crafters need not fear. You’ll find a wide variety of projects from beginner through advanced. These range from constructing a simple mobile with a little decoupage and a craft knife, all the way up to building an entire table–which is not as hard as it sounds, pinky swear.
I especially love the “Kid Fun” sidebars included along with many of the projects–little crafts that go hand-in-hand with the adult version as a sort of a mini DIY exploration for junior artists. If someone like Siminovich had been around to encourage me when I was a kid, maybe I’d have advanced beyond beginner crafter by now.
