| Not all the projects are that useful but most are fun and easy to do. I will refer to this book often |
Some Great Ideas

| I like the idea of making things out of items destined for the trash heap, and this book presents some useful ideas. In most cases the end results are items that come out looking cool and stylish that would look nice in my home, and that I wouldn't mind giving out as gifts. There are detailed directions for different projects as well as some ideas to inspire you to come up with projects of your own. The detailed instructions are well-illustrated and clear. My only complaint is that some of the projects involve way too many steps or too much extra material. For example it's probably a lot easier to simply recycle an aluminum can than to go through all the work necessary to make one little pendant from a piece of aluminum can. |

| The first part that has to do with girl accessories it's somehow fresh and has a lot of nice things. The second part with home accessories it's not interesting enough to amaze you. The crafts aren't something that we haven't seen before. |
Accurate title

| I searched the inside of this book on Amazon, and was impressed by the variety of materials they suggest to reuse and craft with. When I got the book, I realized that was the only interesting part of the book. The ideas in here are so elementary, things you would see on forums, nothing original or even very appealing. Using a bottlecap to make a magnet? Needless to say, I returned this book in short order. I can't see anyone finding this book useful. |

In this book there are a few interesting ideas to recycle, reuse, transform things. I wouldn't say it is absolutely crazy and revolutionary, but it's interesting and deserves to be read. In this field, any good idea is welcome as we never recycle enough. If it can teach people to be a little more careful when it's about throwing, it would be good. So many perfect things are thrown away with no reason !
Conclusion : it's a book to read.
