Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars Marry me   November 24, 2008
K Walker (Tennessee)
I just bought this book yesterday and I am a little in love with it. I'm only sad that I'm in the middle of redoing my craft room so I can't do anything in it right now. I love that some of the stuff in it she actually talks about doing with her niece and nephew, which is exactly what I thought when I saw the pictures (before I read her words). I am going to have way to much fun with this book. I love that it offers something for everyones taste and has a bit of every things in it... wearables, hold-ables, huggables... You have to buy this book!


3 out of 5 stars Good book, weird style.   November 9, 2008

The guy who wrote this book has really weird style. Everything is like mexican day of the dead skulls which is cool but not if you were looking for really cool unique interesting crafts. Maybe its just me but I was a little let down by his overall style and how weird it was.

I'm very new to crafting, and this book is perfect for me! Plus I'm giving it as a gift to friends of mine that are also interested in crafting. Smart fun projects, with lots of instructions. I have gotten so many ideas from this book. They are so flexible I can put my own style into every project. Yes there is an example of how to make an art project from beans. I would never use beans, but beads from old necklaces, or other random things I have around the home. Very creative book and I recommend to anyone!

This book has given me so much inspiration! Not only are the ideas in the book great, but they make you think outside the box and come up with ideas of your own. I'm not usually very good at the craft scene but this book makes it easy to make something look cool. GET IT!
