My talented friend, Erin Jang of The Indigo Bunting, recently released her first book with Steph Hung called Make & Give: Simple and Modern Crafts to Brighten Every Day. It's a little slice of whimsy with the projects they show you how to make, and I love the sweetness behind each one. A few of my favorites include these cake portraits, housewarming gift, macaron messages, and candy necklaces. The book comes with a bunch of templates too, drawn in Erin's quirky and graphic signature style with fun projects that are perfect for making with kids, too!

These look so sweet! I’ll have to have a look at the book 🙂 Really nice idea.
Love the bright colours and the macaron messages are so cute! What a great idea. Would be really great as wedding favours I think.
Really excited about this book recommendation. I am always looking for new DIY ideas and who wouldn’t fall for those mini macaron messages??

Thanks for sharing, Joy! That first photo with the faces was the inspiration for a birthday cake I made for a friend…
