About This Book:

Title: Alternacrafts

Synopsis
Sharing over 20 craft projects for wearing, decorating, and giving, Jessica Vitkus opens her crafting manifesto with "The Ten Commandments of Crafting" which highlight the importance of creating special gifts, re-using old clothing and containers, and inventing all sorts of fun projects from unexpected materials. Three sections--"Your Look," "Your Nest," and "Your Friends and Family"--are filled with projects repurposing sweaters into hats, buttons into flowerpot decoration, and colorful wrappers into snappy wallets. Projects include Skants: Skirt from Pants, Shaggy Dog Rug, and Pin-Tastic Cards. With step-by-step instructions and fun, funky full-color photographs.
