For nearly 20 years, home crafters have turned to the pages of Martha Stewart Living for all kinds of crafts projects, each presented in the magazine’s inimitable style. Now, the best of those projects, including step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs, have been collected into a single encyclopedia. Organized by topic from A to Z, Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Crafts contains complete instructions and brief histories for more than 30 techniques, detailed descriptions of the necessary tools and materials, and easy-to-copy templates. Martha and her team of crafts editors guide readers through each subject, from botanical pressing and decoupage to rubber stamping and wreaths, with characteristic clarity and unparalleled attention to detail. Crafters of all skill and experience levels will appreciate the many variations presented for each technique. For example, candlemaking presents a comprehensive array of poured, rolled, and cutout candles, including instructions for making your own one-of-a-kind rubber candle molds, floating candles, sand candles, and more. Each craft in the book takes on charming new dimensions with innovations that could come only from the team behind Martha Stewart Living. In addition, each entry in Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Crafts is chock-full of tips and advice. Handy glossaries in the entries–such as a comprehensive gem glossary, a glitter glossary, and a color glossary for making tinted wax–are valuable references that crafters will refer to again and again. What’s more, the Tools and Materials section outlines the best essential supplies that every crafter needs to have on hand, and the Sources pages clue readers in to the vendors and suppliers that the magazine’s crafts editors rely on most. Filled with solid technical know-how, and presented with gorgeous color photographs, this handy guide can be read page by page and kept as a lasting reference by crafters and artisans alike.

Title Says it Best-Detailed Instructions & Endless Inspiration
I am a BIG fan of Martha Stewart, especially, for her meticulous efficiency to details and her passion for all things beautiful, delicious and made with ease. Martha's craft book is no exception in providing easy to follow instructions for crafts that you can make at home but look professional and store bought. This book is filled with useful techniques, resources and material information making each craft fun and easy to complete. And it's one of the prettiest books I've come across. I'm also a BIG fan of Ariel & Shya Kane, who are world renown authors of " Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life ", ", Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment " " How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life " and hosts of internet radio show called "Being Here." The Kanes provide easy to follow keys that open up doors of possibility. I'm endlessly inspired to live a life filled with passion, satisfaction and love - as you may have dreamt of- but never thought possible. Through real life examples and true inspiration, Martha, Ariel and Shya fill my own life with so much joy and beauty, I can only suggest you investigate their offerings for yourself!

Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts.
My daughter in law loves crafts of all kinds, so I thought this book would be ideal for her. In fact, it contains so much information that I don't believe there's another book quite like it. Being physically handicapped, she enjoys making the things, and now is able to sell her hard work and gain a degree of independence and self respect. I can't thank you enough and I'm looking out for others by the same author.

En general bien
En líneas generales está bien y te da muchas ideas, algunas repetidas de libros anteriores, lo malo es que está en inglés y que no trae un CD con plantillas de las cosas que realiza. Por lo demás lo recomiendo a quien le guste hacer este tipo de cosas.

Martha rules!
Ich mag diese Art von Deko im Haus, wie sie Martha Stewart hat. Es hat was elegantes, aber nicht spießiges. Es ist modern, ohne kühl zu wirken. Diesen Eindruck vermittelt auch diese "Enzyklopädie". Es ist eine Sammlung der Highlights aus den Martha Stewart Magazinen. Es sind wirklich viele Tipps drin, die inspirieren und auch gut erklärt sind. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es, weil ich mir doch noch mehr Weihnachtsdeko-Ideen gewünscht hätte.

I love it. It's inspiring. I am an artist
With just a brief look through I already got several ideas that I can incorporate into my work. I like that Martha makes use of natural items and the quality of what she makes will make marvelous elegant gifts and home decor. The book has nice photos and explanations. I cannot wait to read through each project. Even if I learn 1 new thing I consider it money well spent... In my initial look through I learned quite a few new ideas....for me this is a 10!
