Publisher Description: Craft hours of imaginative play with dolls, action figures, and Matchbox cars... Boxes. We all have them. From decorative fancy boxes with magnetic closures to the corrugated pile in the garage pining to be included in some creative fun. Craft designer Christen Byrd certainly had a stash and--always inspired by her three imagination-rich kiddos--she found her collection of boxes calling her name. The first space she created for her children--Lucy, Olive, and Max--was the chic little Family Room/Kitchen Combo which was quickly followed by a playful Super Hero Hideout. And, yes, all three play with both because there's no toy discrimination happenin' in the Byrd house and boxes create that "come-one, come-all" kind of fun. To keep up with each kiddo's rich imagination and growing collection of figurines, more creative spaces and scenery took shape-- including a Bedroom, Farm, Fairy Garden, Mechanic's Garage, Ice Cream Shop, Car Wash, and Ballerina Studio--and Small Box Craft was born. To keep things stress-free, Small Box Craft has simple, clear instructions, helpful diagrams and photos, and requires only your trusty glue gun and some easy-to-find materials from your local craft store. (...and your recycling bin). A happy little book packed with big-time fun, Small Box Craft is a blueprint for hours of creative play for that kiddo in your life. |
Contributor Bio(s): Byrd, Christen: - Christen Byrd is the creative force behind many artsy-crafty endeavors. She's a photographer of books, events and business-related social media, a planner and leader of crafty weekend get-aways, and an event balloon artist extraordinaire (to keep the list short). When she's not volunteering at her kid's school, she's a social media guru for a local indie ice cream shop where she was head baker until she moved to the social media job. Her favorite title is mom to Lucy, Olive and Max. Her kiddos (along with husband Ryan) are the biggest inspiration for her creative projects, especially her latest book, Make Your Own Doll Rooms in a Box. As she developed each space, all three little Byrds kept her close to the audience and provided the perfect focus group feedback. Christen and her crew make their home in Little Rock, Arkansas. |
