Big A book

An eclectic collection of upcycling contained in one book.  The projects in this book vary from making pillows from ribbon left-overs and  jewelry from plastic bottles to garden bugs from aluminum flashing and wire.  Each project is contained on two full color pages with a list of materials and equipment needed.  I can see me doing several of the ideas but a few are pretty weird. Any kid would be terrorized by a nightlight make from a doll’s head, it would freak out most adults.  Also, I can’t see making a table using wooden hanger for the center support, an uncontrolled pant leg catching on the hanger hook would cause the table to topple.  Oops how embarrassing.  Despite a few less than practical ideas the book is packed with great ideas for the upcycling enthusiasts.
