About this title

Synopsis

Creative Projects Using Everyday Materials features more than thirty projects designed by the users of instructables.com. These users have repurposed and reused everyday items they've found around their homes, in their backyards, or even in local junkyards to create unique furnishings and decorations for their homes and meaningful gifts for others. Equipped with the vision to not only see the latent potential and beauty in common items, but also the skills necessary to transform those objects into creative and new applications, these projects are at the core of the maker movement and can inspire us all.
 
Readers of Creative Projects Using Everyday Materials will learn how to construct:

• Bottle cap tables
• Concrete lamps
• 3D string art
• Sand fire gardens
• Screw-nut and wooden rings
• Paracord bracelets
• Cigar box guitars
• Wooden beer mugs
• Test tube spice racks
• Metal roses
• And more!
