Buttonbag: ReCraft

50 projects to jump start your creativity

ReCraft second-hand finds into beautiful objects and gifts

Techniques include simple sewing and applique, knitting and decoupage

Using your hands and imagination ReCraft tronsforms the most uninspiring objects such as holey jumpers, old shirts, dusty books, chipped cups, battered spoons, floral curtains, scratched records and broken games into soft toys, candles, secret boxes, precious jewels, cushions and bags. It is a way of recycling things you might otherwise throw away – or things other people have given away – giving old things a new lease of life.
