Homemade Simple - Tapa dura

'Following on from her bestselling book Simply Wonderwoman, Joanna wanted to show working mums that there are some simple and rewarding ways to transform your home even if you don't have any special skills[...]Each project proves that making things is more thoughtful, enjoyable and cheaper than buying from the shops.' --Good Homes'Ideal for novices, this lovely book shows that homemade creations don't need expert skills and you can save money, too. Bring an old chair back to life and find great ideas for using pre-loved fabric' ----Prima Christmas Makes

Practical as well as pretty, these simple, stylish projects really will inspire you to make your life a little easier and a little brighter. Like many working mothers, Joanna knows that life is busy and finding time to be creative often ends up at the bottom of the priority list. That's why her motto is 'minimum effort, maximum return'. Making things for yourself and others means they can be more personal, unique, thoughtful and satisfying - and usually a fraction of the cost of buying something similar. The book is divided into three chapters: * Home - including stylish hanging bookshelves, simple curtains, magnetic spice jar storage and an oilcloth shopping bag. * Giving - including lace-printed clay tea-light covers, simple candles, a knitted Kindle cover, a charm bracelet and chocolate honeycomb. * Celebrations - including a golden chocolate egg for Easter, hanging firefly lanterns for Diwali, fabric-covered lanterns for Chinese New Year, salt-dough star garlands for Christmas. Some projects can be done in minutes, others take a bit longer to craft, but all are very simple. Live, give and celebrate in style.
