Product Description
Review
'Aimed at the serious jewellery maker who wants to make seriously stylish, contemporary jewellery, this book is all about sustainability - recycling, re-using & looking after the environment.' --Waterstones Craft Newsletter
Product Description
Recycled Materials is firmly based on providing simple, illustrated, step-by-step methods and techniques for creating jewellery from recycled materials.This handbook covers the importance of using recycled/reused materials in terms of environmental impact, sustainability, creativity, necessity v. choice, and ideas of making the common valuable and precious through treatment and presentation. The variety of projects included in this title will teach readers how to make a necklace from tin, pendants from keys, use fabric for a cuff, and to use plastic, cardboard, cork and foam to make bangles, necklaces, earrings and brooches. Also included is an extensive list of scrapstores and suppliers of recycled materials, as well as information about how to find free or very cheap materials from other sustainable sources.

Format:Paperback
Well, I never realised that so much could be made from the stuff that gets all too readily thrown away everyday; and this book is crammed full of ideas for making great looking jewellery from it all. Importantly, it's extremely wearable too and wouldn't look out of place on a night out with the girls, on a catwalk or a Cannes red carpet. Very useful too to get a list of stores that stock recycled materials (if you can't find any of your own!) Aside from looking swanky, a major cash saving could be made following the tips and techniques contained within. Plus, not that I feel I'm helping to save the planet single handedly with each brooche, trinket, bracelet, earring, etc... but I get a self satisfied sense of achievement from doing my little bit - and getting creative with it!
