Hippie Crafts: Creating a Hip New Look Using Groovy '60s Crafts

They’re so far out! These fab projects take 60s cool and update them to New Millennium funky. What a blast from the macramé, crochet, and lots of flower power to tap into nostalgia for the Age of Aquarius. Modern-day hippies will proudly handcraft and show off a back-in-style suede fringe vest, woven belt, and beaded headband. Want a crash pad where everyone will let it all hang out? Light it up with sand and rainbow layer candles, add some tie-dyed throw pillows, and invite guests to get cozy under a granny-square afghan in tasteful contemporary hues. Easy-to- follow instructions detail every technique, and sidebars cover everything from hippie fashion, music, and art to the politics and big events that defined the era.
