Be Green and Crafty!

I have found the perfect book for folks who enjoy making crafts as well as pinching pennies and making the world a "greener" place! The Big Green Book of Recycled Crafts, published by Leisure Arts, contains over 100 earth-friendly projects that range from easy to hard. This book sets its tone in the beginning, as the first project discussed is how to make a "Fused recycled bag tote" using many of those plastic shopping bags you have lying around the house! There are some truly unique crafts here, such as the sun catchers created by using pint berry containers and the plastic lids of take-out containers, to pizza-box stepping stones for your garden. The book contains plenty of color illustrations of the finished projects, as well as a section of patterns and general instructions to complete the projects. The greatest aspect of this bok is that it uses items that you recycle every day! This is a great book to be examined by anyone who enjoys crafting and saving our environment.
