When looking at an empty can of beans or corn, it can be hard to imagine it as a piece of art. With this book as a guide, however, readers will have the choice of several crafts in which to transform trash to treasure. Full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions help readers through each fun craft, introducing different artistic methods along the way. In addition, the importance of recycling and reusing old items presents conservation information in ways readers can immediately understand and put into practice.
