The Belle & Boo Book of Craft

Belle and Boo are the enchanting characters created by artist Mandy Sutcliffe. Belle is a little girl with a brown bob, the odd scratch on her knee and an insistent curiosity about the natural world, while her pet rabbit Boo, a flopsy brown bunny, is her faithful friend and confidant. Along with a group of additional characters, Belle and Boo inhabit a sweetly nostalgic world where they spend their days playing in a pirate treehouse, cloud-spotting from hot-air balloons or riding a fairground carousel. With 25 innovative makes and ideas, The Belle & Boo Book of Craft provides all the inspiration and know-how needed to bring to life this magical childhood world. Special sewing projects include an irresistible cuddly rabbit toy, a delightful washingline wendy house and an intrepid explorer's canvas satchel for playtime as well as a robust beanbag and stylish toy storage for your child's room. There are also simple papercraft ideas for decorations and party pieces, such as paper boat place-settings and a hot-air balloon mobile. Containing a mixture of charming illustrations and photographs, this enchanting book will help you to discover the many delightful worlds that Mandy creates with her deceptively simple but stylish images of Belle and Boo.
