VINTAGE CRAFTING INSTRUCTIONAL BOOKLETS

Bread Dough Minatures

You can find this book on making Bread Dough Minatures in my Antiques Galore Gal etsy shop.
I have always loved to sew and craft. I would spend hours locked away with nothing but my fabric and craft supplies. A day out was spent in a favorite fabric or craft store, usually with 1 or 2 kids in tow. In the 1970's decoupage was very popular. It still is, only in different forms such as altered art. Today, I still love to sew. Scrapbooking has become my favorite craft, along with rubber stamping and altered art.

I guess that is why I can't pass these booklets up when I come across them at sales. Who wouldn't want to decorate their next party with these adorable little figures. Vintage party and tray favors instructional book dated 1977. Over 50 ideas for every kind of party and holiday. A fun booklet from the Creative American Craft Series.
