None of the projects are drop dead gorgeous. Most are very crafty and cheap looking. They are definitely ideas because the directions are all written and simplified. These are really ideas more than projects. The title says so but the description is very misleading.

A very good book with many clever ideas

I had heard about this magazine from friends who said it had some cute craft ideas. ( I was also planning a Spring party and needed some inspiration for decorations.) So, I went ahead and ordered it. I am so pleased with how the flower decorations turned out and I really like many of the other projects listed. I just wish that I had more free time to make more of the ideas in this book.
