Customer Reviews

The toys might be functional...but are they sexy?
Bondage and S&M toys have to have a certain aesthetic appeal for me, as well as functionality. I think the main problem with this book is that, yes, if you are good with tools you can make these things, but they won't be nearly as attractive as professionally made items. Some of the things, like a bubble-wrap dildo, are just hideous and tacky. If you are a fetish who loves the mood and psychological effect that polished leather and refined, beautiful instruments of torture create, you probably won't be happy with the majority of the things in the book. PVC and duct tape just isn't as sexy.

Of course, the advantages are the cheapness of the toys that you can make yourself. I would only recommend this book if you are VERY much in need of inexpensive toys, or are an expert craftsman. For most other people, save your pennies and visit jtstockroom.com and get some beautiful and well-made toys. (I don't work there, but I don't mind advertising for them, because the items I've gotten from them are the finest I've seen anywhere.)

Save your money.
I was humiliated to admit that this book was ever in my possesion. I couldn't even give it away without resorting to sneaky techniques to slip it into another gift. Perhaps it's because my circle of friends are avid craftsmen, but everyone I tried to give it to laughed histerically at the cheesy drawings and mindlessly simple ideas inside. I think they might have even been slightly insulted that I offer such a simple book of no-brianer ideas to them. There isn't anything in this book you can't come up with on your own, if there is then maybe you need to surf the net a little more. Every one of these ideas I have found several times over for free on the internet, and I didn't have to spend much time looking. I was almost surprised they didn't suggest your bare hand as a potential paddle, yes, that's how basic this book really is. If after you read this you still find yourself in posession of the book, you really could use a spanking. I suggest attatching a handle to the book using duct tape and then soundly beat yourself upon the head. oops, I think I just might have given them another idea for a toy, I'm sure it will be in the next edition.

New and Improved
KinkyCrafts was one of the more popular Greenery Press books, being that it gave instructions on making an assortment of cheap but effective BDSM toys. However the book went out of print, leaving countless "amateur toymakers" in the dark so to speak. Now the book is back in an updated version which contains the 99 old favorites, as well as several new "do it yourself" toys.

Not only can you learn how to make "old favorites," like various bondage toys, leather paddles, clamps, gags and even the lovely "bungee dildo," but also new items like a basic singletail, a motion detection vibrator and a toy called the "Titty Tower."

As with its predecessor, the book provides illustrations of the toys, materials needed and assembly instructions. With a little time, money and effort this book provides the reader with numerous ways to build up your toy collection inexpensively.
