Synopsis

Cardboard has never been so much fun – just look what you can make with it! So before you bin that box, take a look at the clever ideas in this exciting new book of cardboard animal projects.

This book will show you how to make on-trend homewares with quirky style – you'll be astounded by the endless possibilities from this cheap, versatile and accessible material!

Corrugated cardboard is ideal to invent and create artistic forms: it is light and resistant, and it easily folds, bends, rolls and twists.

The projects in this book are simple, fun and diverse, ranging from ornamental animals and cute trinket boxes through to a Noah's ark clock, an elephant pot plant holder and a penguin cupboard!

The book covers a wide range of techniques, ideas and inspiration, across a variety of themes including stationery, home décor, gifts and accessories.

All of the key cardboard craft techniques are introduced, with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions.

With this book you will learn how to turn this everyday material into animals and beasts that will delight both children and adults.
