Craft with Recycling: A Kid’s Guide to Creating with Upcycled Materials

In this guided collection, young crafters and artists will find step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs that will aid them in creating decorations and playful projects using elements they have designated for reuse or upcycling.

Author and artist Stéphanie Boulay, known as Lucimari, opens with encouraging words that will inspire crafters to pay closer attention to their surroundings for materials that may otherwise be thrown away, such as cans, bottles, scraps of paper or felt, unused and mismatched yarn. You never know which materials may be given a second life!

The projects featured throughout this fully illustrated book can be created as displayed on the page and may inspire future crafts. Types of creations include masks, figurines or toys, mobiles, desk organizers, and more.
