You Can Make It – Things to Do With Scissors and Paste – Easter

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Martha

I love this book.  I love it so much that I’m going to be sharing every single project in the entire book, so I hope you like it at least a little bit.  The book was published in 1943 by the Silver Burdett Company; the authors are Louis V. Newkirk, Director of Industrial Arts Education for the Chicago Public Schools, and La Vada Zutter, a commercial illustrator and former teacher of arts and crafts, Chicago Public Schools.  Although the book has a boring cover which I didn’t bother to scan, the endpapers are wonderful.

Each craft project is printed on two facing pages — one page of illustrations and one page of instructions.  I love the simplicity of this format, and it also makes it easy for me to scan and post.  About half of the crafts are holiday related, so I will try to add those during the appropriate holiday — the others I will just post randomly.  When I can manage it, I’ll try to make the craft myself and post photos.  There are two more Easter crafts coming soon, one with adorable Easter egg favors.

    Those end papers are great! I love old craft books, too. Sometimes the ‘things you will find around the house’ really bring back memories!
