Junk-Box Jewellery

Product Description

Junk-Box Jewellery: 25 Inspirational Budget Projects. This is a beautifully illustrated guide to creating eye-catching jewellery out of found or recycled objects, at very little cost. Sarah starts by demonstrating how to put together a basic tool kit for under GBP10 & then takes the reader through 25 projects, which include creating pieces from vintage earrings found in charity shops or car boot sales, seaglass washed up on the beach, driftwood, coins, vintage beads, old washers & buttons. The clear step-by-step instructions & easy-to-follow projects are suitable for both beginners & intermediate makers, they are easily adapted to alternative found objects & enable the reader to create their own pieces using the skills they have learnt. The last section addresses good places to find materials, & advice on setting up a jewellery business if you want to take your hobby further.
