Beer crafts : making the most of your cans, bottle caps, and labels
Beer Crafts shows you how to repurpose not just the caps but also labels, bottles, and even cans into useful, hip, and quirky items - from attention-getting (if not downright sexy) garter belts to the classic crochet beer can hat, to beer bottle tags, to refrigerator magnets, and more. The projects are super fun, easy to make (even for a first-time crafter), and most of the supplies are things you probably already have on hand or chilling in the fridge. Beer Crafts has jewellery and accessories for guys and gals. From masculine bottle label belt buckles and wallets, to flowery bottle top flip flops and cute-as-a-button beer cap headbands and even beer can jackets for the family dog! There are even funky home decor projects, including candle holders, patio lanterns, bird feeders, and a memo board. And with plenty of beer quotes and trivia, Beer Crafts is recommended bar reading for those who don't craft.
After you've drunk all the beer in preparation for those projects, you may be feeling a little more daring than normal and ready to try something from this book...
