"Tiffany's projects are inspiring, fun, and easy to make. In other words, Tiffany is the Martha Stewart of garbage."
—Shawn Connally, Make Magazine
Design junkie Tiffany Threadgould, founder of rePlayground.com, visits the Arena with her new book, ReMake It!, a guide to turning trash into treasure. She'll be armed with plenty of scrap for kids and their parents to ReMake, too. Ages 8 and up.
About ReMake It!:
Did you ever think the oval opening in the lid of a tissue box could become a picture perfect frame? Or how about the sleeve of an old T-shirt becoming a nifty little drawstring pouch? It's a cinch! All green and crafty kids know vintage LP covers, empty tissue boxes, and broken umbrellas are not trash—they're treasures! ReMake It! author Tiffany Threadgould lives to turn this junk into something fabulous, and in this book are her one-of-a-kind creations. ReMake It! presents 95 cool eco-smart projects—like turning an oatmeal container into a super-cute tote or creating a picture frame from an old pair of eyeglasses. Step-by-step instructions, plus a Stitchionary and fantastic full-color photos of each project, make it easy and fun to get creative...with stuff that's FREE!
