Creative recycling and handmade treasures.

The Crafty Minx is about making simply gorgeous things from preloved, remnant and vintage items. Written especially for non-crafters who are desperate to be more creative but don't know how, author Kelly Doust shares the delicious rewards of living with and giving away beautiful handmade objects.

Included are more than 75 projects - from summer beach bags and cotton apron tops to cosy lambswool throws and cashmere-covered hot water bottles - which give traditional crafts a modern makeover.

Featuring innovative ways to get creative, it reflects the huge cultural shift taking place towards recycling and buying locally.
