Customer Reviews

Good projects for kids but not serious crafters
If you want info on what to do with toilet paper rolls or empty plastic bottles and food trays then this book has good info. However, if you are looking for crafts that you would be proud to give as lasting gifts buy another book. Also I found that unless you have a large supply of craft materials like paints, glues, fabrics, etc., you will need to spend a lot of money to finish most projects. Defeats the trash to treasure premise. The furniture section is not much better. I garnered more information watching the home and garden television shows. I am very disappointed this book does not provide information on gifts I would be PROUD to give this Christmas. This was a waste of money for me.

Creative and Simple!!
Everything you need to create these simple yet useful items is already in your home! You'll be asking others to donate their trash! You'll want to buy Book #1 and #2!

For the advanced to beginner
I loved this book! And even bought one for my best friend who wanted to get her feet wet in crafting. I have used the pop bottle idea for many gifts and the christmas ornamate wraped in netting you get from fruit turned out so pretty! Oh and of course the stepping stones,I have seen them in the stores for 20.00 or more andto think they can be made for a fraction of the price! I could go on and on. My friend is making the stepping stones, as well as the address plate for her house, just to name a few. We will both be buying many of the books by this author and look forward to each new one.
