With bright engaging illustrations and easy to follow step-by-step instructions, there are sixteen fun projects that can be made from recycling and everyday items from around the house.

Perfect for crafternoons, rainy days and holidays, give your recycling a new lease of life and turn it into something to treasure for ever!

The overall tone is encouraging, with a focus on creativity and imagination and there are lots of ideas here for rainy days, holidays and crafternoons with a range of crafts that might spark a love of upcycling in young people that lasts into their adulthood. * RTÉjr Book Club *
