Book review: “Quick and Easy Christmas: 100 gifts & decorations to make for the festive season” by Search Press Studio = 5*

Quick and Easy Christmas, a new Search Press Studio book, is absolutely incredible! It is an amalgamation of projects, taken from the Search Press ’20 to Make’ series, which is a sure-fire winner of a Christmas book for multi-crafters!

There are 7 crafting themes within the book (stitching, papercraft, knitting, jewellery, crochet, sugarcraft and polymer clay) and each theme is colour-coded so you can easily identify the craft groupings by sight.

I also absolutely LOVE their contents page as they give you the photo of the project as well as the project title and corresponding page number.

To me, this is an absolute genius move by Search Press as it makes it much more reader-friendly! It is easier to navigate, be inspired by, and browse the projects all by sight and in one place!

I also love how each craft grouping starts with the corresponding ‘know-how’ pages to introduce you to the techniques you’ll use during the following projects. Again, this really helps in making the book accessible, effortless to navigate and easy to find the basics for the craft alongside the projects associated with it.

I had a go at knitting the ‘Snowflakes Mug Hug’ project as it looked so fantastically festive!

The instructions are clear, easy to follow and result in a fabulous make! I can’t wait to sew lots of Christmas buttons onto the mug hug!

With 100 projects and an RRP. of £9.99 (which means that it works out at less than 10p per project), this is an absolutely fabulous Christmas craft book which will inspire you for years to come!
