ReMake It!

Recycling Projects from the Stuff You Usually Scrap
By Tiffany Threadgould

Can recycling really be fun? Totally! Great stuff is getting scrapped all the time, but you can eco-craft it into projects as unique as you are. ReMake It! Recycling Projects from the Stuff You Usually Scrap presents simple ideas for reusing the stuff you were just about to throw away, showing you step-by-step instructions on how you can ReMake things all by yourself. Turn an oatmeal container into a super cute tote, rock your gifts by wrapping them in sheet music, create a picture frame out of an old pair of eyeglasses, and more. ReMake It! is filled with awesome, easy-to-follow projects using six different types of materials: paper, plastic, fabric, metal, glass, and “junk pile.” You’ll make one-of-a-kind creations with stuff that is mostly free and can be found at home. Go green and get creative!
