Fantastic Recycled Plastic: 30 Clever Creations to Spark Your Imagination

By Robin A. Edgar and David Edgar

Book Overview

Plastic is fantastic to craft with--and these imaginative, whimsical creations are out of the ordinary! From colorful canine silhouette pins and magnets and a holiday snowflake decoration to marvelous masks, they turn recycling into art.? Organized by level of difficulty, the items range from simple creations even a schoolchild can do to a fanciful, rolling biplane and a slithering, jointed serpent stuffed with lids and caps. All the necessary techniques--cutting, shaping, fastening, heat-forming, making tabs--unfold in step-by-step photos, along with clear, comprehensive instructions. Sidebars provide extra information on plastics, recycling, and more. Plus there's a gallery of innovative international work by professional artists to inspire you. What a great way to get creative...while saving the earth, too! ?
