Beer Crafts: Making The Most Of Your Cans, Bottle Caps, And Labels,Used

A synthesis of two outstanding hobbies making things and drinking Beer Crafts is the answer to the ageold question of what to do with those 99 bottles of beer on the wall.While author and crafter extraordinaire Shawn Bowman would like to think she came up with the idea on her own, inspiration really came from her eightyearold daughter, who spent a summer obsessed with making jewelry out of her parents' discarded bottle caps. Finding the note on her desk, My crafting involves you to open a beer, the author had what can only be called an epiphany: ALL crafting should involve me opening a beer. She raised her daughters allowance, and set down to writing this book. But first, she opened a beer.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 attentiongetting (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 firsttime crafter), and most of the supplies are things you probably already have on hand or chilling in the fridge.Beer Crafts has jewelry and accessories for guys and gals. From cowboy hats made from beer case boxes and masculine bottle label belt buckles and wallets to flowery bottle top flipflops and cuteasabutton beer cap headbands, theres a little something for everyone even beer can jackets for the family dog! Beer bottles themselves get dressed up with insulating crochet cozies and fancy charm necklaces, ending all arguments over whose drink is whose, when theyre all clearly marked mine! 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.Tie one on then braid it, glue it, and embellish it with Beer Crafts.
