Review Quotes:
"Crafting guru Jennifer Perkins' inspiring book, Creative Crafts for Teens, goes beyond typical DIY guides by teaching teens to unleash their inner artist with easy-to-follow projects while also guiding them in crafting an empowered life, embracing their authentic selves, and finding joy in the imperfect creative process (when in doubt, throw some pom-poms & glitter on it!). " -- Nicole Stevenson, CEO & Creative Director of Dear Handmade Life (Craftcation Conference & Patchwork Show)

Review Quotes:
"Where was this book when I was a teen?! Jen Perkins knows what teens like, what they can make, and how to guide them in their crafty explorations. This book is full of projects that turn everyday items into statement pieces to wear, gift, or display in a bedroom. Make a giant color wheel bulletin board, yes please! Best of all, Jen cheerleads and encourages along the way, so artists feel empowered to make art that's as unique as they are." -- Courtney Cerruti, Editor-in-Chief, Creativebug

Review Quotes:
"Jennifer invites teens into this bright "crafting party" of a book with her friendly voice and projects that feel approachable, with room to play and make your own. It's the kind of book that I would have loved to spend long summer days with as a teen! While this book is full of ideas to get your creativity flowing, I especially loved the self-affirming reminders sprinkled throughout. She is excellent at empowering teens to feel confident in their unique creative perspective!" -- Faith Evans-Sills, Painter, Creative Retreat Leader, and Author of Painting the Sacred Within
