From Drab to Fab is an upmarket craft book showing how to transform unwanted, old and everyday objects into beautiful items of decor. Keeping in mind the concepts of reuse and recycle, Almie Louis takes it much further by upcycling the most ordinary or even ugly items, into grand and desirable pieces. Using a variety of craft s such as crackle glazing, decoupage, gilding, papier-mache and ageing, she instructs the reader step-by-step with clear and beautiful photographs that will inspire anyone keen on learning a new craft. There are 90 projects for items in every room of the home, including the garden! Choose from decorative lights, useful wire baskets, wall hangings and frames, trinket containers, gold-leaf boxes, retro tins, lampshades, a variety of tables and stools, and many more.

Almie Louis is an ex-South African now living in the UK with her husband and three children. A keen and experienced crafter, she delights in finding new purpose for unused items by transforming them from ugly ducklings into swans, and turning dust-gathering mementos into beautiful items of useful decor.
