Cute little book with lots of great ideas. For all age groups.

Detailed instructions for a number of cute recycled projects.

From the back of the book, make unique stylish accessories with some fabric, scraps a few buttons and a ribbon. Create bags, belts, jewelry, hair, accessories, and more. Follow actual size patterns, which are quick and easy to make.

That’s all very much true
