Book Reviews of Make It in Minutes: Last-Minute Gifts (Make It in Minutes)

Book Review: Not a great gift book.
Summary: 2 Stars

While the photographs are really well done, and the book is a spiral bound so the pages lay flat, the content leaves a lot to be desired. You will need to know all of the techniques used in this book before you start. There is a general techniques page but it doesn't give you much in the way of the techniques used in this book.

Many of the projects are cute ideas but who is really going to "use" most of these things? There are a few projects that will make lasting gifts like the jewelry, the tea towels that you simply sew ribbon onto the edge, same for the lingerie bag. A few good ideas but really not practical gifts.

Summary of Make It in Minutes: Last-Minute Gifts (Make It in Minutes)

We all know the feeling: you need a thoughtful gift, but you?ve only got an hour to come up with something unique. No problem! Here are more than 30 attractive options that take 60 minutes or less to make, including linens, paper crafts, jewelry, home décor, and gift and card holders. A simple bottle of bath salts quickly becomes special when topped with a beautiful silk flower, while a gorgeous hand-beaded necklace takes just a jiffy to thread. Or, for something sure to be cherished, gather some favorite recipes, log them in a clever handmade book, and bind them together with a useful set of measuring spoons. They?re so exquisite, no one will realize how easy they are to make!
