Product Description

Wait—don’t throw out that old hubcap: it will make a great chandelier! That’s the thinking behind Creative Juice, a crafty do-it-yourself guide to recycling ordinary items and turning them into extraordinary art. Every clever idea comes from the wildly imaginative minds of crafting duo, Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza, hosts of DIY Network’s Creative Juice. The book features projects from bohemian beaded rings and rocker t-shirts to soy candles and spicy tea soaps, and Cathie and Steve have provided plenty of photos and illustrations, along with "insider tips" to teach crafters the tricks of the trade. Create velvet and leather belts and bracelets, candleholders out of pipe parts, bath time puppets for kids. Creative Juice offers everything you need to get the creative juices flowing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Juice Offers Great Ideas for the Beginner and Veteran Crafter , June 19, 2007

By	A. Bush (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am truly a fan of the Creative Juice TV Show and am just wowed over by the book. The pictures are fantastic and the instructions are clear enough for the beginner. The way Cathie and Steve take objects and recraft them into pieces of art, play, etc. amazes me, a veteran crafter. I love the chapters with kids ideas and easy to make jewelery. I will put them to use very soon as my grand daughters are coming to spend some of the summer with me. I have downloaded directions to many of the Creative Juice projects and now it is so great to have great color photos of the how-to's. Anyone who likes to craft or wants to begin to craft needs to buy this book!!!!!!
