About the Author

Introduction

A single moment with my son inspired this entire book. As I was returning gift-wrap supplies to my

craft room one day, Oliver (then two years old) pointed at my spool of ribbon and said, “Hey

Mommy, a balloon!” I stopped and looked down at what was in my hands—a cardboard circle with a

trail of thin, yellow grosgrain ribbon hanging down to the floor. To him, a circle with a line dropping

downward was a balloon—no matter that it wasn’t made of latex or floating in the air. I realized he

was onto something.

The projects in this book organically took shape once I began looking at the world through my

son’s eyes, going back to that time when everything was just shapes and colors and the purpose of

objects had no meaning to me. Combing the grocery aisles was no longer about shopping for oatmeal

and crackers, it was about finding materials to make bongo drums or a miniature village. Cotton balls

were no longer just for removing nail polish—they became a sheep’s curly wool, stuffed a doll’s

pillow, and morphed into cotton candy.

It’s the mixture of the repurposed materials with common craft supplies that brings the projects in
