Review

This 9th volume in the “I Can Make” series provides directions on
how to make all kinds of things, including necklaces, earrings,
friendship hands, pet-rock pouches, a “handstand” for rings and
necklaces, and a jewelry box. The fun projects are simple and innovative
and geared to a range of skill levels. All are crafted from recycled and
inexpensive materials. The easy-to-follow directions are appropriately
minimal, given the intended audience. Each spread features a list of
supplies, appealing step-by-step photographs, and a final picture of the
finished craft. Little adult help will be needed by most young crafters.


I Can Make Jewelry is suitable for girls aged five and up, and at
$6.95, a great value for craft ideas from everyday materials. Highly
recommended.
