If you want info on what to do with toilet paper rolls or empty plastic bottles and food trays then this book has good info. However, if you are looking for crafts that you would be proud to give as lasting gifts buy another book. Also I found that unless you have a large supply of craft materials like paints, glues, fabrics, etc., you will need to spend a lot of money to finish most projects. Defeats the trash to treasure premise. The furniture section is not much better. I garnered more information watching the home and garden television shows. I am very disappointed this book does not provide information on gifts I would be PROUD to give this Christmas. This was a waste of money for me.
