in many ways — by adding paint, papers, charms, ribbon, fibers, and anything
else you can think of. The sky’s the limit. You can alter just about anything
— an old book, a cigar box, shipping tag, playing card, wooden box, or any
object that you would like to transform. Check out the gallery section for
inspiration and to see what other artists have created. There are more than 60
projects including altered books, tags, microscope slides, boxes, bottles,
slide mounts, and much more. Then you’ll be so excited you won’t be able to
wait to try your own altered art project. The technique section has more ideas
