Making Fits from Oddments & Outdoor Materials by Betsey H. Creekmore, 1970 | Vintage Nature Crafts | Vintage How-To Book | Bixley Shop

Betsey H. Creekmore wrote Making Gifts from Oddments & Outdoor Materials in 1970, long before our modern craze for upcycled and sustainable objects. The book features 224 pages of craft ideas and instructions. 

As described by the dust jacket... "Mrs. Creekmore's book is a harvest of absorbing fun and profitable productiveness such as you never dreamed your hands could yield. With few exceptions, none of the procedures or gifts described will make a dent in your budget, yet the finished products would carry substantial price tags if you saw their like in a store."
