Trash to Treasure

by Anne Van Wagner Childs (Editor in Chief)

Leisure Arts presents a wonderful collection of home decorating and gift giving ideas. These all-new projects are divided into four sections: Holidays, Gifts, Home Decor, and Just for Fun. One of the many creative projects is a Valentine gift box made from a painted, fast-food sandwich carton embellished with newspaper roses and elegant bows for presenting something special to a loved one. Simple crafting techniques show readers how to transform "recycled" throw-away items such as old milk cartons and bags into "treasures".

Interesting ideas but none of which I'll probably ever use.

A lot of effort to turn garbage into...well more un-recyclable garbage. There are a few usable projects but really, spray painting fast food bags for gift bags?

A couple of cute ideas but none I think I would make.
