Recycled Craft Books Are Great Ideas for DIYers

It has been some years now that I've created my first DIY project a recycled wine bottle past. Since that fateful day, I did craft projects of all types of recycled materials.

DIY creative projects of the materials used is a fun way to reduce our landfills, highlighting our lives and make beautiful unique pieces of art. Unfortunately, Pinterest and many other similar sites within our reach, is not always easy to move from research to actually create great ideas for crafts. Some of us get lost in the huge amount of information and photos of beautiful handicrafts available online and can focus on a single project, or you started.

With the holiday season almost upon us once again, many of us are struggling to find the perfect gift for our loved ones. Do you have a friend or family member who is "taste" many different DIY projects made with recycled products "pinning" or? Why not get a book that includes various craft projects made of reusable household items. There are plenty of them available.

Many recycled craft books I saw recently include many green projects to choose from. The books are beautifully illustrated and include step by step instructions of green crafts for children to smart ways to recycle and smart to use almost all ways.

Here is a list of recycled projects that make great green craft materials:

Bottles of wine or liquor recycled

Old jeans and other clothing

Plastic water bottles

Son and scrap fabrics

And bottle caps

Pop boxes
Milk and juice containers
Outdated magazines

Find a special handmade book to your favorite DIY'er shows that you care and pay attention to his favorite pastimes.

Sometimes all a craftsman needs a good book and a couple of hours from the computer to get the creative juices flowing again is. A book is tangible and can go wherever you go. You never know when or where the muse can attack.

I think a colorful book, entertaining and informative engine will make a great gift idea this holiday season. These books of green crafts are for everyone who loves creating unique fun projects using recycled materials, from beginners to more advanced crafters.

It's even better if you can join your favorite DIY'er in one or more recycled craft projects ....

ALEXANDER KORZER-ROBINSON

I first saw Alexander Korzer-Robinson's work at the RWA, Bristol at the 'Celebration of Paper' exhibition and really loved what he had done.

Alexander Korzer-Robinson is an artist from Berlin now living in Bristol. He draws from a background in psychology. “my 
art practice focuses on the notion of the inner landscape. Using generally discarded 
materials, I make objects as an invitation to the viewer to engage her/his own inner life in 
order to assign meaning to the artwork”.

The cut book art has been made by working through the books, page by page, cutting around 
some of the illustrations while removing others. The images seen in the finished work, are 
left standing in the place where they would appear in the complete book. As a final step the 
book is sealed around the cut, and can no longer be opened.

THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT

"It's Like a Concert tour but with sketchbooks"

The lovely Gabrielle sent me this Sketchbook Project link the other day and it looks very interesting.

Each artist is sent the same blank Moleskine Cahier sketchbook. We've only got two rules: first, the book must be used in some way - no sending us back an empty book or a completely different book! Second, the sketchbook must stay within its original dimensions (because we don't want to have to provide an extra suitcase just for your book while we're touring the country).

Each book will be given a barcode so we can easily catalog it into The Brooklyn Art Library system. Once we catalog it, artists will be able to track where on the tour their book is viewed and how many times someone pulled it from the shelf - we want to make sure you can stay connected with your sketchbook!
