In Ordinary Made Extraordinary designer, artist and maverick-maker Pascal Anson shows how easy it is to transform everyday items into extraordinary statement pieces.

Make ordinary a thing of the past with 24 inspiring and achievable projects including:
- Create a chandelier with just a few rolls of Sellotape.
- Cast a stunning concrete plant pot.
- Build a child's treehouse with cling film.

There are ideas for projects for everyone - from repairing and reinventing worn out trainers, to bigger projects such as the wood-clad car and the stylish hairy chair.
