Repurposing diva Terry transforms trash to treasure, fashioning newspaper, wallpaper, or plain old paper headed for the garbage into beads or bangles or headboards. A merchandise manager for Anthropologie and a crafter, Terry has transformed playing cards into lampshades, and an abandoned roll of raffle tickets into a coffee-table conversation piece. An avalanche of catalogues can become a cavalcade of crafts: the aRing around the Rosy Vasea is constructed of pages woven from advertising usually destined for refuse. Paper maps become passport covers or origami birds on a string for a childas nursery. The process may appear tedious at times, with instructions to cut 100 paper strips, but they are well worth the payoff of drink umbrellas from paper scraps and papier-mache pinatas bursting with treats. Family heirloom letters fashioned into a bridal barrette may not be to everyoneas taste, but with a gum wrapper or 200, you can be a jeweler on a budget. (Apr.)
