Description
This title contains 40 innovative book-making ideas using recycled and green materials! More than just earth-friendly, the projects are also beautiful and clever, stitched with traditional binding techniques. Transform wood, beer cans and cassette tapes into covers and brown bags and discarded newspapers into pages! Egg cartons, wood, beer cans and cassette tapes morph into covers, while brown bags, coffee filters and discarded newspapers are transformed into pages. Create a boxed set of cereal box books, an exposed stitch sketchbook out of cardboard and remnants and even a faux leather journal made from teabags. In addition to how-to drawings, close-up detail photographs and simple stitch diagrams, a gallery of eco-books from an international roster of artists provides inspiration.
