GIVEAWAY: “Washi Wonderful” and “Make Your Mark” Craft Books

Book review and giveaway: Washi Wonderful and Make Your Mark Craft Books

Here are two craft books that you’re going to want for summer crafting inspiration and beyond: “Washi Wonderful: Creative Projects & Ideas for Paper Tape” by Jenny Doh and “Make Your Mark: Creative Ideas Using Markers, Paint Pens, Bleach Pens & More” by Lark Books. Enter to win one or both!

These books are chock full of clever ideas for two of today’s most popular crafting materials: washi tape and Sharpie pens. Materials you probably already have in your craft closet, yes?

First let’s look at “Make Your Mark” which includes 30 projects and 50 templates for embellishing surfaces with markers – including fabric, plastic, glass, wood and stone. The projects are inexpensive, quick and easy, with many great summer crafting ideas for kids.

I like that the first section of this book helps explain different marker types and what is good for particular surfaces. Super helpful reference to have around. Then the book gets straight to the projects including these festive celebration balloons…

And these custom buttons, made with markers and one of my all-time favorite craft supplies, Shrinky Dinks.

And how pretty are these graphic wooden bracelets embellished with paint pens?

Next let’s take a peek at “Washi Wonderful” by Jenny Doh. Most of my favorite craft books are by Jenny Doh. She has a knack for curating clever and simple projects that just get you inspired to make them your own. The book starts off with a question that haunts us all: How do I store all this tape?

Washi Wonderful contains 50+ projects and ideas ranging from home accessories to gift items like this tassel and fringe wrapping paper.

I like this technique of making a scene using tape, like these ‘welcome to the neighborhood’ cards:

And like all of Jenny Doh’s books, it’s filled with beautiful photos like these mason jar drinking glasses.
