No sane adult should be this excited to finally get their hands on this book, oh my goodness. And guess what? It IS cuter! (Assuming you have already heard of / purchased the original, The Cute Book.)
The Cuter Book contains a whole range of sweet new little characters to make including a horse, turtles, snake, panda, ghost, polar bears, monkeys, reindeer, Christmas tree, plus some favourites from other aranzi books, which of course were originally designed to be made much bigger and not from felt so now we get to see them in miniature felt form too. I'm intrigued to try out some of the 3d felt additions too - not everything in this book is to be made flat like before.
I own a lot of craft books and I have to say there aren't many, if any out there as incredibly simple to follow as the Aranzi Aronzo range, and the projects in this book are perfect for beginners and children. All you really need is some paper to trace the patterns onto, coloured felt squares, a needle & thread, and glue for the eyes (which I manage fine without by simply stitching them on). There are a few suggestions in the back of the book as to what you can use the little mascots for; such as turning them into keyrings, appliqués, etc. All of which make very sweet and unique gifts. :)
