Beer crafts: making the most of your cans, bottle caps, and labels: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Beer crafts: making the most of your cans, bottle caps, and labels" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Beer Crafts shows you how to repurpose not just the caps but also labels, bottles, and even cans into useful, hip, and quirky items -- from attention-getting (if not downright sexy) garter belts to the classic crochet beer can hat, to beer bottle tags, to refrigerator magnets, and more. The projects are super fun, easy to make (even for a first-time crafter), and most of the supplies are things you probably already have on hand or chilling in the fridge. Beer Crafts has jewelry and accessories for guys and gals. From cowboy hats made from beer case boxes and masculine bottle label belt buckles and wallets to flowery bottle top flip-flops and cute-as-a-button beer cap headbands, theres a little something for everyone -- even beer can jackets for the family dog! Beer bottles themselves get dressed up with insulating crochet cozies and fancy charm necklaces, ending all arguments over whose drink is whose, when theyre all clearly marked mine! There are even funky home decor projects, including candle holders, patio lanterns, bird feeders, and a memo board. And with plenty of beer quotes and trivia, Beer Crafts is recommended bar reading for those who dont craft.

Foreword

When the crafty and craft beer communities come together, we all win. Creativity and crafting with found objects, including reusing bottle caps, cans, bottles, and carriers, is a direct expression of the craft beer philosophy that creates community around sustainability.

This sustainability, coupled with creativity, repurposing, and innovation, are all ways in which we can support our local communities, and in turn, the earth. When we support craft brewers, we keep dollars in our neighborhoods, strengthening our local economy. When we craft using repurposed materials, we keep waste out of the refuse stream and find unusual sources for supplies. In both beer and art, we are given glorious opportunities to build relationships with others, and expand our creative horizons. What better way to complement each other than by crafting with beer?

This is the heyday of the do-it-yourself mentality. From urban farming to home brewing, from the resurgence of modern domesticity like beautifully home sewn clothing to handmade objects for the home, the can-do attitude of creative folks is the very same industriousness that spurred on the craft beer movement from home brewers in the early 1980s.

At the very core, the hearts of craft beer and crafting beat with the same fundamental tempo. Within these two, community is queen. So grab a beer, gather up some friends, and get to it. Theres nothing better than enjoying a tasty beverage while creating, laughing, and having a good time with your friends. This book will show you the way!

Introduction

Crafting may be my first love, but beer and I have a long and passionate history. Thank goodness, appreciating them both doesnt have to be a rivalry for affections and I can enjoy them simultaneously, sometimes even in public.

Im amazingly fortunate to be living in Portland, Oregon, which has the largest number of breweries per capita in the United States, and the beers here are pretty darn goodright up there with the awesome brews coming from my hometown of Fort Collins, Colorado. But Im guessing youve got some kick-ass beers in your town, too. Its a plague of awesomeness.

Weve seen a revolution in crafting and knitting. Folks are learning to make things for themselves again, and luckily for us theyve rediscovered beer. Home brewers who have been experimenting with hundred-year-old German recipes are opening brewpubs, and outstanding craft breweries are popping up all over the countryreally, all over the world.

Innovative graphic design has accompanied the boom in the beer industry, with stunning packaging acting as a visual signature from the breweries. My appreciation for these cool cans and subsequent collection of them had turned into a bit of a problem. These things take up space, and a couple of years ago it seemed time to move on from my decorating style of dorm room chic to something more befitting a foxy middle-aged mom.

The answer to the question What do you do with the ninety-nine beers on the - photo 6

The answer to the question, What do you do with the ninety-nine beers on the wall? came from an unlikely source, my eight-year-old daughter. She had become obsessed with making jewelry out of my discarded bottle caps, and one morning, I found a note on my desk that said, My crafting involves you to open a beer. Suddenly I had an epiphany: ALL crafting should involve my opening a beer. The basic source materials for dozens of craft projects are right in my house, no farther than the fridge or recycle bin.
