This handbook emphasises the importance of using recycled and reused materials for reasons of sustainability, creativity, economy, and making the common valuable and precious through treatment and presentation. Jewellery from Recycled Materials provides simple, illustrated, step-by-step methods and techniques to create jewellery from recycled materials. Projects will teach readers how to make a necklace from plastic bottle tops, make tin earrings, use fabric for a cuff, make a wooden brooch, and use plastic, cardboard, cork and china to make bangles, necklaces, rings, and brooches. Also included is an extensive list of scrapstores and suppliers of recycled materials, as well as information about how to find free or very cheap materials from other sustainable sources.
