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.
Awesome Purchase! January 8, 2009 I got this book for my sister for Christmas and recommended it to a friend and she got it too. Now I wish I had one. It is full of tons of trendy, for the most part, inexpensive crafts. Love it!
Not impressed. January 7, 2009 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The only thing really good about this book is the title.
Almost everything in it is tacky and doesn't work well for anyone past college-aged.
The book seems to be geared towards people with little craft experience and no sense of style. It's good for people who want 'character' and have very little budget but other than that, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I was very disappointed.
Amazingly Beautiful! January 3, 2009 I was very impressed by this book. I bought it thinking it might have some pretty interesting ideas. When I got it home I read it from cover to cover and was blown away by all the wonderful ideas in it. I always wanted to redo some of my furniture but seemed like it would take too much time and energy but this book shows exactly how simple it is.
I'm just thrilled that I got this book and have already been busy working on several projects from this book. I love it.

Hours of crafting... on a budget! December 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has so many ideas that would be awesome to make and give/show off! It offers enough projects to keep you crafting for years. Also, it has detailed, easy to follow instructions for EVERY item pictured in the book. Montano is a clever man, but also inspires me to put my own spin on his projects. He helped me open my eyes to thrift store finds that I would have previously passed up. I'm having fun collecting inexpensive materials and objects to use for his projects.
FUN! December 14, 2008 This book is great. Great ideas for making my apartment look way better. And its fun to give the crafts as gifts, and there are so many. The directions are very clear and the pictures are great. Great book!
