Some ideas are interesting, but overall I didn't find any I would actually make. Many crafts are made in a way they still resemble the original materials. Plus I didn't find many of the crafts useful. There are a lot of ways to wrap presents, like with plastic take-out boxes. But only a few crafts were as useful, like a paper bag doily, for example.

This is exactly what the title says, it doesn't cost alot of money to make the crafts. You don't have to buy all kinds of stuff, most you already have as the title suggests just don't put it in the trash. Some other books the crafts cost to much to even think about making.
