With more than 2 million Shrink Art Jewelry and Shrinky Dinks books in print, we at Klutz are pretty much shrink plastic experts. But when it's as easy as tracing, cutting, and baking . . . you can become a shrink art expert too! Even if you're totally new to this whole shrink art thing, our step-by-step instructions will have your friends admiring your "did-you-really-make-that?!" jewelry in no time.
· Nail Art
We just couldn't resist giving this Klutz classic a little polish . . . With 6 colors of water-based, non- toxic, peel-off nail paints, you can try every design idea on (and off - and on - and off) with no nail polish remover required. From apples to zigzags, there's something here to please even the most finicky fingertips!
With more than 15 million Google listings and over 5 million blog posts for embroidery, I think we can safely say that sewing is trending. This isn't your grandmother's needlepoint . . . and you know that here at Klutz we love a trendy twist on a traditional craft!
There's a reason Klutz's magic books have sold more than 3.5 million books in print. We think it's because the pure joy of wowing a roomful of onlookers with some deft, old-school magic is still the greatest thrill around for a kid (and, ahem, some adults). Prankster Magic includes sections on coin tricks, card tricks, and (how did you know?) mind reading. These are easy pranks and quick tricks - no hokey hocus-pocus, no need to borrow someone's rabbit - just the sweet spot between mischief and amazement!
· Dress Up Your Own Paper Pups
If every little girl had her way, she'd have a little dog to pamper and dress up and tote around with her wherever she goes. Accessories range from the indispensable (food bowls, bones, and hair curlers) to the extravagant (a tutu). And just in case the pups don't feel up to prancing, we have included a punch-out doggie carrier, so girls can carry their new best friends in style. Call it puppy love, Klutz style.
· Build Your Own Gotcha Gadgets
Gotcha Gadgets is a scientific take on The Encyclopedia of Immaturity-a set of customizable electronic gizmos, along with a book of games, pranks, and jokes that make the most of them. Klutz-clear explanations of the electronic circuitry accompany step-by-step instructions for how to wire (and re-wire) your own door alarm, motion sensor, light sensor, and push-button device. Isn't science wonderful?
