KLUTZ

Fuzzimal puppies are a breed of adorably shaggy dogs that kids can make themselves. Just bend pipe cleaners into shape, wrap them with frizzy yarn, and finish with floppy ears and googly eyes. Sounds simple -- and it is -- but the results have more doggone appeal than any store-bought plush pets we've ever seen. Everything you need is here, including super-shaggy terry-cloth pipe cleaners, fuzzy-wuzzy novelty yarn, felt for ears and collars, googly eyes, glue, and a supply of shiny jewels (for that over-the-top bling thing). The directions are Klutz-clear, with simple tech art guiding every step of the way. Altogether, there are materials and directions for making five different puppies, each with its own unique flair. The book even includes style and grooming tips to enhance your puppies' individual personalities. Finally, we threw in some punch-and-fold dog carriers that are perfectly sized to hold these puppies, so you can bring your furry new friends wherever you go. Ready for adoption: five quiet, well-behaved pets, all set to follow you anywhere.
