The first thing I made from the book was a coaster, it was easy to make and it looked great! |
More coasters followed the first, until I had a set of six... all from one charm pack; cute! |
Making a set was a great confidence builder. |
I measured the stack of coasters and decided to move on to a 3-D box, made to my own specifications, all the while following the illustrations and how-to directions in the book.
Success!

EPP is so intimidating to me! The coasters make it look so much more doable!
Very clever! Looks like a fun book to work from.
There are some really cute ideas on this book. I'd love to try some of them.
Your set of coasters in their own box is a great idea and a nice gift. I wanted to make a comment, but don't put me in the giveaway because I am already one of the blog hop participants and have the book already. Just hopping by to see what you created for the hop.
Both the book and your coasters would be a great addition to my home.
Would love to win the book or coasters. This looks like a project I'd love to try.
The book seems to add context to fun and useful items. Looks like a good addition to any library.

I never considered the 3D aspects of EPP. You make it look easy, so the book sounds like a keeper.
