Stick It Like You Mean It!

Stick It by T. L. Bonaddio is a fascinating new book that the library just received.  It contains 99 Do-It-Yourself duct tape projects.  The projects range from wallets and purses to necklaces and bracelets, ornaments and CD cases, and each is marked with 1 to 4 stars (one means a five year old could do it and four means adult supervision is helpful).  Each project has many pictures listed of the individual steps required to create the item and the

directions are easy to understand.  The book begins with a list and illustrations of techniques needed to create the products explored in the book.  I especially adore the duct tape flip flops---I believe I am going to have to make me some of those for the summer, since there are many wonderful patterned duct tapes available for purchase at your local hardware store!  This book would be the perfect basis for a summertime craft hour with your kids or a slumber party activity.  T. L. Bonaddio is writer, illustrator and designer who grew up in Scanton, PA and earned her BA in Printmaking/ Book Arts from the University of the Arts.  She enjoys creating books for children, teens and kids at heart.  For more information, visit her web site at tlbonaddio.com.
