This is an innovative collection of ideas to create and embellish beautiful yet practical pieces of art from everyday materials. Twenty-five projects with step-by-step photographs clearly show how to adapt old containers and turn them into stylish accessories using anything from fruit crates to camembert boxes. The book makes the most of the many diverse materials and styles to produce fashionable and functional accessories. All the techniques required are clearly photographed for each project, and the gallery of ideas offers a visual catalogue for great instant effects, colour schemes and textures.
