The See and Do Book of Boxes, Cartons and Containers

The See and Do Book of Boxes, Cartons and Containers by Helen Jill Fletcher H.S. Stuttman Co., NY, 1959 This book "makes 'doing' fun and gives that wonderfully satisfying feeling that comes out of creating useful or ornamental objects from simple, inexpensive and often discarded and waste material." Making crafts at home is not only a great way to recycle old junk otherwise destined for the landfills, but it's also therapeutic! Craftmaking is a great way for the whole family to work out their Oedipal complexes and break out of traditional gender roles.
