UPCYCLER’S HANDBOOK

Annie Sloan created her unique formula for chalk paint in 1990 and has since become an upcycling guru. In her inspiring new book, she has compiled 75 step-by-step projects that use chalk paint to make-over the home, along with plenty of tips and tricks for achieving fabulous results. The projects teach the essential skills of stencilling, printing, waxing, gilding and dyeing fabric. The Annie Sloan Collection (£19.99, Cico Books)
