The big green book of recycled crafts

Lisa Lancaster

Book - 2009

"Yes, you can surround yourself with handmade beauty while helping the environment at the same time! Each project in this book uses one or more items that would ordinarily end up in a landfill. By finding ways to extend the usefulness of paper, plastic, cans, glass, clothing, and other recyclables, we've developed hundreeds of green crafting ideas. Each is fun to make and even more fun to give as a gift! Whether you want to reinvent a lamp, create artwork from household discards, organize your photos, or get more mileage out of an old sweater, you'll find plenty of ideas and inspiration in these pages." -- T.p.

Review by Library Journal Review

Reusing and repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded isn't a new idea, but the current vogue for all things green has brought recycling to increased prominence among crafters. None of the projects in this book is particularly groundbreaking, but this is a handy one-volume overview of an ever-popular topic. (c) Copyright 2010.
