A brand-new book, a colourful new craft, and cute new friends-all rolled up in one. We''re adding a few new faces to the Klutz family this season. They''re colourful characters: small in stature but big in personality. And, even though they''re a little tightly wound, you''ll be happy to meet them. Each of these irresistibly cute creatures starts as a handful of corrugated cardboard strips, in an assortment of rainbow hues. Wind the strips into coils, then press them onto our custom shaping forms to create the round bellies and full dimension that bring each character to life. Next, easily assemble the pieces with our specially formulated tacky glue. Finally, add eyes and a few distinctive paper curls and flourishes. The results are totally charming: a sweet mouse, a spunky purple penguin, a decidedly plump bunny (to name just a few). Our always-clear instructions and everything-you-need package guarantee success. Whether you make one of the adorable animals shown in the book or create a character of your own invention, you''ll feel as proud as a peacock. A paper peacock, that is.

Make the cutest, sparkliest, brilliantest bead rings ever Back in 1999, we published a little book called Bead Rings. At the time, we considered it a fairly modest venture into the world of beading, but it turned out to be a dazzling success. With close to 800,000 copies sold and trend setting bead rings popping up all over the place, it''s clear this book deserves an update. And this time we''re turning up the sparkle. The basic idea remains the same: String shimmering beads on flexible wire to form totally durable, totally adorable,totally fashionable little rings. But now we''ve made the book bigger and filled it with fresh, new photography. We updated the seed beads with a bright, poppy palette. We added custom, jewel-toned specialty beads. And we came up with seven sparkly new ring designs, each one easy to make and totally cute, as determined by a board of certified stylish girls. Finally, realizing we''d created something altogether new, we gave the book a new name. Introducing Brilliant Bead Rings - the only book that comes with everything you need to make those chic little rings that are showing up absolutely everywhere. Prepare to be dazzled. Again.

Here at Klutz, everything''s coming up roses. And daisies. And daffodils and poppies and, well, you get the idea. Introducing Fabulous Flowers, our latest foray into the world of paper crafts. This 60-page book is filled with can''t-go-wrong instructions for making paper flowers that are, quite possibly, even prettier than the real thing. A custom winding-tool makes it easy to roll and shape paper petals into dimensional, lifesized blossoms inspired by some of our favorite flowers: roses, daisies, daffodils, poppies, even sweet peas. But we didn''t stop there. Sparkly embellishments, fresh paper colors, and whimsical design variations give these blooms a twist that''s pure Klutz. As always, we''ve packaged the book with everything you need to get started: 20 pages of ready-to-punch-out paper petals, sparkly flower centers, wrapped wire stems, glue, and of course, the custom winding tool -- enough stuff to make bunches of flowers. It''s not easy to improve on Mother Nature but, with all due modesty, we''re pretty sure we''ve done just that.

Make real jewellery that is really, really charming. At first glance, the projects in this book seem simple enough: delicate chains with pretty little dangling charms. But look closer. These aren''t your sister''s school craft projects. This is real jewellery that real girls make themselves. Charm Chains shows how to create charms out of sparkly beads and pretty plastic cutouts. Learn to make a butterfly, a leaf, a flower... even a tiny peace symbol. Then use the included crochet hook to fashion a fine wire chain. Attach the charms to the chain, and a little magic takes place. Your work is transformed into beautiful charmed bracelets, necklaces and earrings with a real-jewellery look that our tween testers find irresistible. Of course, the book''s pages are packed with our always-clear instructions and illustrations for each project. And though it goes without saying, we''re saying it anyway-you get everything you need to make these projects. We promise you''ll be totally charmed.

Al heel lang geleden maakten de mensen touw uit materiaal dat voorhanden was. Van een lap leer of van het taaie gedeelte van een plant. Meestal werd het gebogen of geknoopt om iets uit het dagelijks leven na te bootsen. Vissers maakten figuren die op vissen leken woestijnbewoners daarentegen hagedissen. Sommige identieke touwfiguren kan je terugvinden in verschillende delen van de wereld. In dit boek vertellen kinderen uit zeven windstreken over hun touwspelletjes zoals: de muskiet, de palmboom of de vliegende vogel en ze leren ons om ze zelf na te maken.

When the Mahe Your Own Lip Balm Klutz Kirs were in development, our kid-testers went nuts over the lip balm rings -- translucent plastic locket rings with snap-shut lids. We can take a hint.

To go inside the rings, we''ve included some shiny, star-shaped confetti and 12 cards of cool punch-out graphics and shapes.
