This book is a collection of quick, cheap crafts you can make. The end result crafts are better than what you get out of the Trash to Treasure<\/em> series, but I think the book relies on some creative accounting, namely pro-rating, to bring each craft under ten dollars. Each individual craft comes with an itemized bill and they do all come under $10, but sometimes the bill indicates that $3.98 for two colors of spray paint. I’ve just priced spray paint, so I know that two cans of spray paint cost more than that.<\/p>\n The crafts are simple, and many of them resemble the sort of thing you’d see on the television program Creative Juice<\/em>. Some of them are very similar indeed. That means that I’ll take some ideas from it, but probably not as many as I would from watching a season of the aforementioned program. Maybe it’s the way I soak up ideas, but things I flip past in a book don’t stick with me quite as well as the things I see on television in 7 minute segments.<\/p>\n Which makes me question the whole enterprise of reading these things.<\/p>\n
