If you’re a fan of eco-friendly crafts and sustainable living, Raw Crafts by Denise Corcoran is an inspiring guide that taps into the growing trend of using natural materials in crafting. From hemp and jute to cork and burlap, this book introduces 40 creative projects that make the most of these versatile, earth-friendly materials.
The book is divided into clear and easy-to-follow sections, each focusing on different types of raw materials. Corcoran walks you through an impressive variety of projects, ranging from home decor items like pillows, woven bowls, and rugs to accessories such as tote bags, jewelry, and toys. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner, there’s something for everyone, and the projects are suitable for different skill levels.
What makes Raw Crafts stand out is its emphasis on sustainable crafting with materials that are not only beautiful but also kind to the planet. Hemp, jute, burlap, and cork are all natural, biodegradable, and abundant, making them perfect choices for anyone looking to reduce their environmental footprint. Corcoran also includes tips for personalizing your projects with techniques like dyeing, printing, beading, and embroidery. These add a unique touch to your creations, allowing you to express your style while staying true to the raw, natural aesthetic.
