(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.

Pretty fun ideas

Review by Meg, 2010-08-15

Bought this book without thinking twice, anxiously waited the almost 3 weeks to get it and I love it! This book is full of neat and pretty ideas. Every craft is customizable so its more unique to you. Instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. Love the witty comments throughout.

Very Creative

Review by Beccanoel, 2010-07-09

I love a lot of the crafts in this book. A few of them are quite unnecessary (grade-school crafts) that would just sit around & collect dust. Some, however, are great ideas. I've made a few things out of this book & plan to make more. It helps you think of new ways to use things.

This book is filled full of great ideas

Review by Kerrie Allacher, 2010-06-25

This book is incredible! I got my copy about two weeks ago and I have already made a couple of the things out of this book. It has tons of great ideas that can be made to look like you came up with the idea. I made the 3D flower box on page 19 and it is beautiful hung up on the wall and it's very inexpesive to make the shadowbox I found was $14 dollars and the other supplies might already be on hand. It's a fun, fun book and I reccomend checking it out. Plus all of the supplies can be found in the craft section at Walmart and at craft stores. The instructions are easy to follow, they are cute projects like the laminated earrings are adorable,I have a ton of sticky notes in my already worn out paper back book and I intend on making most of them! It is a fun book full of great projects and like I said I reccomend it! It's just a totally great book.

Not what I expected much worse and trouble shipping,

Review by A. Barraca, 2010-06-23

Amazon gave me a hard time on this item. It took me about 5 phone calls in total of two hours on hold to notify amazon of my address which was given correctly the first time. I recieved the book, which turned out to be a total flock. The book had totaly usless projects. For fear of never recieving my money back I will not return the item, and I dont have a person that will think it usefull either. I much rather through it out.

So much fun

Review by A. Kerr, 2010-06-11

I have had this book for a couple of years now and I have really enjoyed it. It's full of great ideas that are easy and look great. Any time I need a last minuet gift idea or am just bored on a Saturday, I pull this book out. If you are a crafter then you really should have this book.
