Creative Clothes and Accessories: New Ideas and Techniques for Transforming Your Wardrobe - Tapa blanda

Crafters are altering everything - clothing, shoes, handbags, journals and much more. They start with an existing item - a cotton jumper or a jeans jacket - and embellish or alter it in a variety of ways to make it something new. 'Altered Art' is the newest trend in the art and craft world. The first section of the book features tips and techniques that show how to do various creative alterations on fabric: ripping, tearing, painting and dyeing, beading, adding images and letters, adding hardware such as snaps, jewels and more. The second section of the book includes 30 altered clothing and accessory projects the avid crafter can make at home.
