"Jewelry and Accessories from Everyday Objects" includes 19 jewellery and accessory projects based on materials that were intended for different uses altogether. Fish lures are transformed into necklace charms, fountain pen nibs are turned into tinkling beads, tiny toy zebras are paired with ponies to become delicate dangling earrings. While the items used in "Jewelry and Accessories from Everyday Objects" undergo a change of context, none of them are significantly modified. Fish lures remain recognisable as fish lures, miniature zebras are still obviously miniature zebras. The objects are reused in their original form and become part of a totally new creation. Each project is described with easy-to-follow instructions and accompanied by full-colour photographs of key steps. Because not all readers will have the same treasures lying around their houses, each project also comes with suggestions for similar items that can be used instead. Advice on where to buy the raw materials for the projects is included as well.
