Overview
If you think Catholic craft projects are limited to Advent wreaths and Easter eggs, author Ann Ball has a surprise for you. In Catholic Traditions in Crafts, you will discover a delightful combination of popular hobbies and religious history that spans the seasons, holy days, and holidays of the entire liturgical year.The crafts and projects - some simple enough for children, others complex enough to satisfy experienced "crafters" - are sure to add year-round color and fun to your family celebrations. With an emphasis on ethnic diversity, each craft features a brief history of its traditional use, as well as clear, concise directions, diagrams, and pictures of the completed project.
A wonderful resource for incorporating traditional Catholic crafts customs into your holiday and home traditions as well as an opportunity to learn how special occasions are commemorated in various ways throughout the Catholic world! This is a great book for religion teachers both in the school and parish setting, as some of the crafts lend themselves to group projects.
