Reading Level: Adult non-fiction(5 out of 5)
If you are into being green, this is the craft book for you. There are craft ideas in here that uses aluminum pop cans, glass bottles, plastic bags, take out containers, and much more. One neat one that caught my eye are sweater rugs. Hmm is that a rug made out of sweaters you ask? Yes! You use 4 to 12 wool (or mostly wool) sweaters. Quoting the book it says, "This is quite possibly the fuzziest, thickest, squishest, plushest, most huggable rug you will ever set foot on... and you make it yourself in a matter of hours." You use knitting needles. I don't really know how to knit but I think it might be time that I learned.
Another clever idea is making bags using coffee bags and duct tape. You get a functional bag that probably smells good too.
Make lunch bags using plastic shopping bags.
Cool light fixtures out of milk jugs.
The one I cringe at a little bit is using books to make angels and trees. Yes they look really cool but I mourn a little bit for the books. An alternative to books would be magazines. I have seen magazine trees before.
All in all I want to make almost every craft in here. And I'll be helping save the planet while I do it! :)
