Trip to Planet Girl For the Young Diva On a Budget From Kids Can Press

Posted on: Tuesday, 29 August 2006, 06:00 CDT

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Young fashionistas everywhere can now recreate the trendy clothes and accessories in today's top fashion magazines with materials found in their own closets by taking a trip to Planet Girl, a fun new craft and lifestyle series from Kids Can Press for girls ages ten and up. Why should fashion icons like Jessica Simpson, the Olsen twins and Hilary Duff have all the fun? Crafters can be their own designers when they tour Planet Girl using Stuff to Hold Your Stuff and Injeanuity.

Upon landing on Planet Girl, teens and tweens will immediately notice that it's the trendiest planet in the galaxy. Stuff to Hold Your Stuff, new this fall, (just in time for Olympus Fashion Week), demonstrates how to easily make accessories like bags, art portfolios, sunglass cases, and other fashionable projects that won't break the bank. Injeanuity, the first book in the series, showed how to make jeans look better the second time around by transforming them into stylish new clothes like skirts, halter tops and purses. Those who stick with Planet Girl will be the most fashion-forward young women in the solar system!

To create the latest styles seen in Cosmo Girl!, Teen People, Seventeen, and movies like The Devil Wears Prada, all a girl needs is fashion savvy and some funky materials. How about designing a handbag with ties from dad's closet? Or making slippers out of blue jean pockets? Or a scrapbook tote displaying pictures of friends and family? And when girls make accessories using the Planet Girl technique, the cost will be very down-to-earth, as these projects are made from materials they probably already own.

Sew it; cut it; glue it! Full of ideas and advice, each project has a photo and simple instructions that make it easy for every girl to look ultra chic for school. Just like designers at Coach or Louis Vuitton, crafters can stamp their designs with their own personal flair and originality by playing around with different fabrics, materials and trims.

Materials ... check; fashion sense ... check; so what's left but to launch into Planet Girl, where teens can vogue it up and be the cool couture divas that they know they are!
