High points for creativity, but most of the crafts were just crude and ugly. There's no art or beauty in any of these ideas.

There are some really unique and interesting craft ideas in here. Some I really want to try out.

Definitely a bit more on the tacky side of crafts than the cool side. There are a few projects I might attempt, but not a whole lot.

Tegenvaller. Veel crafts waar je speciaal materiaal voor moet kopen.

Some fun ideas, but I guess I expected more based on the title.

This book takes a few simple projects, and offers several variations - 5 decorative lamps. 5 decorated plates. 6 kinds of window treatments. Some of the projects are a little different from the usual indie-craft book, but don't expect anything too ground-breaking. There's some innovation in material use, like the duct tape arm chair. Alternately, there's some mind-numbing material use, like the repeated references to Avery T-shirt Transfers. YMMV. The pictures are big and bright, generally, there's that at least.

This was a fun book to look over. I definitely earmarked some of the DIYs to do for Christmas presents this year.
