Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
There is little the kids or adults won’t find to do for even more than 365 days, as Goldschadt, a freelance graphic designer and crafter with 10 years of article-writing experience, takes us through a year of designs (with templates) of everything a human might need, from a robot magnet to the gentle lion cupcake topper. While heavy on cupcake toppers, from foxes to whales and lightning bolts, the work offers a few surprises, like the garden gnome for the terrarium (to be made during Gnome Week) or the 3-D Christmas ball, all easily adaptable as gift tags, cards, and ornaments for any time of the year. Ladybug pincushions and chick finger puppets abound year-round, along with a list of the felt and sticks and templates that make it all happen. More than 400 photos. (Oct. 2)

Library Journal
Paper craft and simple sewing ideas abound in graphic designer Goldschadt's first book, which features an easy craft project for every day of the year. The projects are organized into themed weeks, many of which correspond to major holidays (Valentine's Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, and Christmas). Many of the projects are variations on a basic shape; the same penguin-shaped template is used to make a greeting card, a cake topper, a gift tag, and a garland. None of the projects requires skills beyond basic paper craft and simple sewing, so they are appropriate for older children as well as adults. VERDICT The projects are cute, but many of them take the same project (usually a paper shape) and add a slightly different variation, so it's a stretch to consider them 365 different projects. Nevertheless, crafters who like charming, simple projects may enjoy this collection.
