Wearable Wonders - reviewed by Soobin

Wearable Wonders by Fifi Colston
   Non-fiction Category: NZ Post Book Awards 2014

This book is about using recycled materials and changing them into wearable things such as masks and hats.  It also tells you about the materials you can use and how suitable they are!
The best thing is it not only it tells you how to make things, it also tells you how to use your tools and materials.
Towards the beginning of the book, it tells you how to make a mini doll template, so you can play with the doll and dress her with some of your awesome creations. (You can print the template out).
I think the book could be better if  there were instructions of how to make some of the projects step by step.

This book should appeal most to girls because it is about fashion and crafts but boys can try it too.
I think you can be 7 and up to create things and there are some parts you will need to ask your parents for help (using a craft knife and  using needles.)

I think it is a fantastic book because it gives you tips for crafts and uses for recycled materials and I think it should be a category winner.
I’m going to try and print out a mini doll template!!!
