Welcome to the world of indie style crafters!
Series Description
Handmade Underground introduces a new series offering a wide range of crafty projects for DIY style with an edge. It’s where haute couture and street culture meet, where beloved pastimes of yesteryear meet urban trend-setters, where the cosmopolitan fashionistas meet the world of alternative crafters and where anything goes. With clever contributions from crafters the world over, Handmade Underground taps into this continually growing trend with four new titles: Crochet, Knitwear, Sewing and Jewelry.
Book Description
With a host of different options for materials, Handmade Underground: Jewelry includes 25 projects with an edge so you can recreate the boutique right in your own neighbourhood. Handmade Underground’s got great ideas and options for all occasions and styles, for you to craft your own unique creations – fashion your own wired waterfall necklace, or put together a pair of chic beaded chandelier earrings.
Each book in the Handmade Underground series will offer step-by-step instructions, four-colour photographs and templates for all projects alongside “bite-size” anecdotes, definitions, helpful hints, further ideas, and colour charts. With basic steps that are easy to pick up and directions that echo the camaraderie of a craft group, the spirit of Renegade Handmade is fun, loose, experimental and creative.
