My Books

My books are packed full of crafty inspiration, with lots of photos to guide you through projects, and of course everything is made from stuff you’ll find at home.

Make Your Own Zoo

'Make Your Own Zoo' is a themed craft book with over 35 projects, all made from ordinary cardboard packaging, like egg cartons and tubes. This means everything you need is easy to get hold of and it's a really simple, inexpensive way to encourage creativity and imagination. 

All the animals and scenery work together too, so you can build up your own zoo, or just make your favourite animals. Each project has plenty of photo steps, so they're easy to follow. Age 6+

'Make Your Own Zoo' was my first ever book, and there's more about that rollercoaster of a journey here.

Make Your Own Farm Animals 

Why not turn your recycling into a farm? 'Make Your Own Farm Animals’ is packed full of 35 fun projects to make animals, scenery and machinery! All created from everyday cardboard packaging. 

You will never look at an egg carton in the same way again! Age 6+ 

And you'll find a little more about the making of this book here.

But will he stay in his new space home? Age 3-6

All the scenes in the storybook are created from everyday cardboard packaging plus a few other familiar things you might recognise!  

And there's a link at the back of the book to make your very own Brian the Lion. You'll find that project here,
