Making Things

Making Things is a thoughtful and practical guide to modern crafting, featuring more than 100 projects that breathe new life into everyday objects.

 Makers Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle met in 2018 and immediately struck up a friendship, united by a reverence for everyday objects. Their approach towards craft reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and accessibility – as they write in Making Things’ introduction, “Craft can be exquisite and exacting, the result of formal training and years of practice, but it can also be experimental and messy and not quite perfect.”

 Scouring sidewalks, stoops, and thrift stores, the authors repurpose materials to create projects that range from the functional to the fun and frivolous.
