Description

Fast, fun and easy projects to make with recycled materials! Author and designer Jill Evans has created 50 great projects made from recycled containers, all of which are perfect for crafters of any skill level, even children! Ranging from a darling penguin for Christmas and a kooky witch for Halloween to home decor items like lighthouses and candleholders, crafters will find creative ideas for any occasion. And, the best thing is, each project can be completed using common craft tools and materials for less than 5 dollars! Full-size patterns are included for each project, and readers will use food cans, potato chip canisters, beverage cups, and cookie tins to make these functional and earth-friendly pieces!
