Christmas in minutes

the long version

Clear, concise instructions teamed with brilliant yet simple ideas make this book a must-have for holiday crafters with little free time on their hands - and who isn't busy during the holidays? Taking only 5 to 55 minutes to complete, each project can be fitted into a busy schedule. The 30 projects are arranged in sections according to the time required to complete them. For example, gift tags decorated with bay leaves and rosemary springs can be made in under 15 minutes. It takes only 30 minutes to make a calla lily centerpiece. Forty-five minutes is plenty of time to make door wreaths, a glimmering silver twig tree, or an elegant eucalyptus garland. The projects use basic craft supplies and widely available natural materials such as pinecones, fruits and cinnamon sticks. Now it's easy to give a home that holiday look, while giving yourself more time to enjoy the season.
