This book has a few interesting looking projects in it, but not a lot. Wallets are cool as are some of the "other" category. I like that the wallet patterns attempt to be "universal" in size and not just fit one specific size of money. The "jewelry" projects are 99% junk. I would make maybe one of the bracelets and earrings. Some items are just a strip of duct tape folded over on itself so it's not sticky, and then twisted around another strip to form a braid. There are multiple projects that are just different themes/designs of the same idea. For example, there are two coffee cup cozies but they just have different designs cut out of duct tape. Frankly I think that's cheating if they're counted as different projects but they aren't fundamentally different in some way. And what's up with the pillows??? Who wants duct tape pillows? Maybe you can make one and give it to someone who sleeps outside a lot or it might be good for someone who wets their bed or is muddy a lot... But there are TWO to choose from! There are about 9 greeting card projects that offer maybe 3 actually different techniques. A few duct tape flowers and ornaments in there; the flowers are cute but the ornaments aren't. And really? You're going to wrap duct tape around a pencil and call that a project? Wow, thanks for the "pencil grip" project.As other have said, many of the ideas seem half-baked and not very well put together. I would expect much more for the item that actually makes it into the picture. And I would probably laugh (quietly) at anyone over the age of 12 wearing most of these things. The wallets, book covers, and picture frames all seem mostly ok. I can't return mine since I bought it for the Kindle, but I recommend buying it used. It's probably worth about half the current price in my opinion.
