This book is excellent for beginner "corkers". It teaches how to make different sized spools and explains which size spool to use for each project listed. This is an easy craft and even my four-year-old is picking up on it quickly. We are "corking" baby mits (a project in the book) and baby hats (our own adaptation from the projects in the book using a much larger can) to donate to Newborns In Need for the winter.This is not necessarily a book on what to do with those long, thin corked snakes, though it has a few projects dealing with that and a few additional ideas to get you thinking. Rather, it is a book that goes beyond those little "snakes" and shows that you can make a variety of corking projects with different sized spools. After a great deal of searching, I believe it is the only book of its kind currently on the market and it is a good book at that.Some things to keep in mind:The cans listed in the book seem to be standard in a country other than the US as I was unable to find the exact sizes listed. We found the closest sizes we could and were able to easily adapt them to the projects. If you want to change the size of a project, just use a different sized can or other cylinder shaped item to make your spool. For example, we use a big Sam's Club sized apple sauce can for making baby hats. Typical cans would be too small.Also, the instructions guide you to attach the nail sets in pairs across from each other around the can. However, when listing how many nail sets are required for each size can, the number is not always an even number. I prefer to measure about 1/2 - 5/8 inch spaces between each nail set and go from there.Make sure you clean your cans and nails before you start!
