The Big-Ass Book of Crafts is packed with ideas for sprucing up your living space; concocting fabulous, all-natural body products; designing your own unique stationery; and creating countless other crafts that will convince your friends and loved ones that you're the secret love child of Martha Stewart (only much, much cooler).
Forget crocheted doilies and itchy knit sweaters -- TLC's While You Were Out top designer Mark Montano has created stylish and imaginative projects that range from a Warhol-esque Ultrasuede iPod case to photo-adorned boxer shorts to African mask patio chairs to wooden night-light boxes. Divided into sections that include Outdoorsy (ideas to enhance your backyard), Dishing It Out (decorating plates using different techniques), You've Been Framed (innovative picture framing ideas), and Can I Have a Light? (creating and decorating lamps, lanterns, and chandeliers), it's as entertaining to read as it is endlessly inspiring. With more than one hundred and fifty inventive and fun projects, The Big-Ass Book of Crafts is the perfect activity book for readers of every mood, budget, and skill level.
Low End Goods Get High MarksReviewed by Rose, 2010-03-05
Seriously got no money? Then this book is for you. It is crafty, okay - the top (usually just first) reviewer knocks it for being too low end but seriously when you have no bucks that is usually when people get crafty. There are so many many ideas. Some good stand-bys but more that are innovative because they have been brought current. I would definately recommend this book and love perusing this book. Love, love, love it. But, what do I love the most? I love the fact that almost every single page has a different craft with EASY DIRECTIONS. Not overblown, let-me-make-u-think-I-am-really-talented-too-long-directions-that-are-wayward-to-follow - NO!! Easy, easy, but still NOT leaving out anything important. There is so much to chose from that there are plenty of items that are pop-arty, cool, and modern. Keeping it simple is always best and only the smartest people can do it that way. (my opinion ;) Also, it does have a guys' perspective - which is surprisingly refreshing! Love this Latino!
Very easy, creative projectsReviewed by C. Paul, 2010-02-22
I love the punk plates; I made custom made plates that I will use as my dinnerware at my wedding - extra bonus I will be giving them away as favors (they include the date, name and place and a "till death do us part" tattoo graphic and I used ivory and a metalic champange and they turned out wonderful); including the spray paint and cost of plates the total was about $20 per 10 plates. And I am going to let my children help me make the crayola napkins as well.

Wonderful Book !!Reviewed by N. O'Donnell, 2010-02-07
I love craft projects and this book has so many good ideas I don't even know which one to start with. A friend bought this book and showed it to me and I had to have one of my own. Recommend it to anyone who enjoys doing craft projects.
good bookReviewed by Emily Best, 2010-02-05
This book is a ok buy. It has good ideas, but they are kind of junkie looking.
