Our Review
Jennifer Perkins has to be the queen of jewelry, and her new book, The Naught Secretary Club: The Working Girl's Guide To Handmade Jewelry is filled with dozens of kitschy projects to try out at your desk. By re-purposing and reusing common office equipment and materials, you can make some gorgeous jewelry and accessories.
Filled with over 50 projects, it's time to raid the stationary cupboard and make yourself a Paper Clip Necklace, some Shredded Junk Mail jewelry, a classy Tie Down Brooch (made from an unfashionable necktie), or an All-Access Pass Badge Holder. This is a really fun book and all of the projects are bright, colourful and funky.
So make 9 to 5 a little more sexy and sassy with jewelry that any secretary would adore.
You can pick up a copy of the book from FW Publications or Amazon now.

You?ll learn how to use your office supplies in a whole new way - did you know standard office fare, like binder folders and shredded junk mail, makes craftalicious jewelry?
