Books with author Laura Torres

For girls of a certain age there's nothing as much fun as making things to share with friends, especially with their BFF (Best Friend Forever). And there's no author better qualified to inspire them with stylish crafts and projects than Laura Torres, whose previous tween craft books for Klutz--including Friendship Bracelets and Pipe Cleaners Gone Crazy--have sold over a million copies each. Best Friends Forever! is Laura Torres at her most creative, most enthusiastic, most encouraging, most entertaining. Writing like the best big sister a girl could ever have, she presents over 90 two-of-a-kind crafts that one-of-a-kind friends can use, wear, and share. Here are Friendship Stack Rings, Hair Sticks, Scrapbookmarks, Fantastic Frames, Trading Laces, Pajama Pants Swap, Pocket Pillows, Fuzzy Dudes, Sweet and Fruity Lip Gloss--and on, and on. All the projects in the book are illustrated in full color, and are made using low-cost materials either from around the house or from stores like Target or Wal-Mart. Most require only minimal skill. A few projects will need to be sewn, but that's all part of the excitement of DIY that girls will discover--that, and the unabashed fun of using glitters, beads, paints, colored floss, and other decorative flourishes to make everything truly divalicious.
