Leisure Arts proudly announces the publication of The Big Green Book Of Recycled Crafts! Including over 100 earth-friendly projects, this book is the perfect guide for crafters who’d like to explore the fun side of recycling and discover that, in fact, it really is so easy, being green!

Yes, crafters can surround themselves with handmade beauty while helping the environment at the same time! Each project in The Big Green Book Of Recycled Crafts 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 hundreds of green crafting ideas. Each is fun to make and even more fun to give as a gift! Whether the goal is to reinvent a lamp, create artwork from household discards, organize photos, or get more mileage out of an old sweater, eco-minded crafters are sure to find plenty of ideas and inspiration in these pages.

Chapters include:
• A Pleasant Surprise – using plastic items
• Renew? Can Do! – using cans
• Waste Not – using paper
• Still Shining – using glass
• Rags to Riches – using textiles
• At Second Glance – using throwaways
