Summary: Great buy
Review: Fantastic idea book! The colorful pictures are just so inspiring. The crafts are so easy to do and requires little time to accomplish. Too, the materials required are inexpensive. Even the inexperienced crafter can easily get away with the projects shown here. Featured projects range from glass decorating (etching, embellishing), clay pot decorating/painting, mosaic, dressed-up table centerpieces, etc. etc. The nice thing is each project comes with an extra idea/hint or two, plus beautiful pictures of the finished product. I'm sure this book will not just gather dust in your shelves; you'll actually craft something that's shown here! Worth it for the price!

Summary: Inspiring!
Review: Filled with beautiful color photos from cover to cover, this book is a delight to own. Loads and loads of ideas and projects are categorized both per season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) and per length of time required to finish each craft. Each one, though, is surprisingly easy to make, and doesn't require expensive materials. The author also gives tips for variations to most projects, so that you actually get more ideas than what you paid for. With minimal effort, you can adorn your surroundings and dazzle your friends with your own handmade projects!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I bought this book for a friend who was just beginning to get into crafts. She loved it and has produced some beautiful gifts and decorations from this book. It has a nice range of complexity, from things you can make in an afternoon, to some that take a little more preparation. I'll be ordering this book for myself soon (I need to pay off my last Amazon bill first!).

Summary: Love it! Love it! Love it!
Review: I love this book! Each project has a color photo showing detail and all instructions take five or less steps. In addition to the instructions there are always at least two additional 'idea notes' for how you can further accentuate your project to make it more personalized. The book is broken out into Fall/ Winter/Spring/Summer chapters (although I think there are really more Winter/Christmas crafts than any other). Not only gift-giving ideas, but also just creative little things to place around your own home. Simplistic & affordable materials are used- probably many things you already have around the house. These projects are for the first timer as well as the experienced crafter. For those of us who love a lot of color & sparkle- buy this book!

Summary: Beautiful, but still hard for a novice
Review: I love this book--it has wonderful tips and ideas. Many beautiful gifts and decorations can be made from such simple things! But, as a crafts novice, I have struggled to find some of the materials. Although I live in a major metropolitan area, and have been to 4 craft and fabric stores, some critical elements are just not available. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough yet to know what to substitute. I'm not ready to give up, but this is taking a lot more time than I expected!
