What a fun book with brilliant ideas.

Who knew the humble tin could be turned

into so many different functional and

beautiful things.

I have already started collecting my fancy

biscuit tins to turn into a sewing tower.

It's just such fun and looks good as well.

Your own sewing supplies cake :-).

Jemima has packed the book with 16 different

projects to make.

The thing I love is once you have learnt her

techniques you can use them to create

even more projects.

The book is broken down into 4 sections;

Storage

Lighting

Decorations

Gifts

Each section has a number of different

designs and techniques

that create some amazing projects.

I love the labelled storage tins,

I bet you could guess as they are crocheted.

My next favorite is the magnetic pinboard.

This is just such a fun practical idea.

I am going to make one for my son

as he always need space to store things

and it looks so good.

At the start of the book you have

clear large pictures of the projects

so you can get a good look at them

before deciding which one you 

want to make.

At the start of each of the tutorials on how

to make the projects, there is the supplies list

including any tools you will need

to make them.

Then you are given step by step instructions

that include easy to follow pictures.

The pictures are very clear and show all

the places you may need some guidance.

There are a number of techniques

that are used in multiple projects.

For this reason there is a 

section at the back of the book.

In this section it teaches you how to use

the tools to create everything.

There are loads more pictures and really

easy to follow instructions.

There are a lot of different tools

that are used in the book so you may

need to purchase some to complete your projects.

There really is so much packed in this book.

A lot of fun, interesting and beautiful projects.

What a brilliant way to use the humble tin.
