Junk-Box Jewelry: 25 DIY Low Cost (Or No Cost) Jewelry Projects

Sarah Drew. Zest (HMH, dist.), $14.99 paper (112p) ISBN 978-0-9827322-6-7

Treasure hunters with an eye for style should glean inspiration from this guide to making jewelry from thrift store finds and everyday objects. Clear, bright photographs demonstrate the steps for making such pieces as a “Sea-Jewel Pendant” made from beach glass or a stone; a “Newsstand Necklace,” with beads crafted from rolled-up magazine pages; and a “Toolbox Bracelet” created from nuts, bolts, chains, and other objects one might find in a workshop or hardware store. Encouraging reuse and innovation, Drew urges readers to see pretty potential in unexpected places. Ages 12–up. (June)
