Princess Crafts

By Elizabeth Ingrid Hauser

Book Overview

Every young princess will want to make these projects, and she can. The crafts (in girl-appealing pink, purple, and glitter) are simple, so she'll need little help creating sparkly costumes, dazzling accessories, ornate gifts, and sublime snacks fit for royalty. Princesses with a classic style will want to place oodles of netting and tulle over a floor-length dress; put lace, ruffles, ribbons, and gems on the bodice; and turn a headband into a dazzling tiara with beads and sequins. They will travel like royalty on a bicycle decorated with shimmery paper or tape, ribbons, plastic garlands, fabric flowers, butterflies, and more. Sleeping Beauties will enjoy sweet slumber on their Heaven Scent Pillow, and write their thoughts in a Secret Wish Journal adorned with glow-in-the-dark stickers and glitter. And there's ornamentation for the royal bedroom, homemade makeup for the fairest in the land--even some dragon candy for the royal brother.

Crafty and Creative

This book is chock full of fantastic craft ideas for kids of any age, economic status and creativity. The author is able to take items we already have around the house and make fun and diverse craft projects. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has a princess in THEIR family.

Every Princess in Training Needs This Book

Both of my goddaughter's LOVED this book! Each had their favorite craft---Your Carriage Awaits allowed Nicole to have the most glamorous bicycle on the block---she was certainly the princess on her custom designed chariot! Nicole was also inspired to have a princess party with her friends! Alexa loved making the Rapunzel hair and couldn't wait to show her dad how fun it was to have cool super-long ribbon hair! This book was so well written--easy to follow instructions and entertaining factoids. Little girls love to play dress up and it's great that there are ideas for all kinds of beautiful princesses---sparkly, glittery fuzzy & more!

Excellent Creative Book for Kids!!!

Princess Crafts celebrates the "modern princess," as it combines classic princess ideas from literature and film with a modern twist for the soon to be independent woman. The creative and fun craft projects (which mostly require simple and easy to obtain supplies) will entertain little girls endlessly (and some adults too). The text, charmingly written by Hauser, is clever and humourous yet consistently provides clear instructions on the projects. Parett's dynamic illustrations and high quality photographs also provide a solid road map for the crafts. Finally, one of the best aspects of this book is that the projects and activities are sure to inspire these young princesses to be creative and crafty beyond the scope of this fantastic and original book for kids.

Princess Crafts

My niece (7 years old) and I had a great time making the crafts in this book and also reading the adorable tips on "princess" etiquette, like "When it comes to mirrors a true princess never pauses too long in front of her own reflection" and "If your prince turns out to be a toad, just throw him back in the water and move on to the next pond". (This is a book for princesses of ALL ages!) The crafts require mainly common household items, so we were able to sit right down and start making costumes and fancy jewelry and all of our royal accessories. She wants to invite her friends over and throw a whole princess party! I recommend this book to any parent or girl. It's well written, with humorous, easy to follow instructions and tips and sweet illustrations.
