Editorial Reviews

07/25/2016
This addition to the Craft It Yourself line encourages readers to think creatively about materials they already have on hand as the authors delineate ways to turn old decks of cards, neckties, plastic drinking cups, and unused jeans into jewelry, belts, and more. Not every project involving recycling but many do, such as using fabric and purchased handles to turn a hardcover book into a handbag, or stitching together fabric headbands to create a “slouchy hat that’s beyond amazing.” An enthusiastic tone, wide array of ideas, and straightforward instructions should inspire readers looking to bring some DIY flair to their wardrobes. Ages 9–13. (Oct.)
