Ahm, I am being generous here with my rating. It is a strong 2.5 though. Some really good ideas but on earth who has these type of tools lying around in their garage let alone their craft room.

The book and the ideas is not bad but it is NOT for a beginner crafter nor for somebody that want to simply up-cycle a few used items. If you put this much time and money into a craft it better be to bring in some money.

I just don't think many of these ideas are realistic. So many of them involved cutting a bottle in half. I really honestly don't think I know anyone who has the equipment to do that safely. It tells you to get a Generation Green Bottle Cutter (which I've never heard of) and it doesn't tell you where to get one or anything other than to read the manual.

Considering most of this book wants you to cut your bottles in half, I didn't find this fun at all. The other ideas are pretty obvious and not worth paying for a book, if thats your only option for this book.

I read this on my Kindle Fire.

I got this book free from an Amazon.com promo. It seems to still be free, otherwise it is 99 cents. Not even sure I would pay that much, many of these tutorials are online if you just Google them, and if you are into cutting bottles, you don't need to read 5 different candle holder tutorials. Again, you can find these all online on various blogs and youtube.

Projects for many different levels of craft skills

There are quite a few ideas in this book for crafty people. There are several crochet projects to make wraps for wine bottles. There are some advanced projects as well as some simple ideas. The more advanced projects call for cuttin the wine bottles an in one you must even be able to drill a hole in a wine bottle. I am more of a glue gun crafter, so the ideas of applying pretty "gems" on the bottles are the ones I will probably choose to make. Good ideas if you have some extra wine bottles!

This was okay. I really didn't want to have to learn how to cut the bottles. I just want some ideas on how to use them in other ways, which they also have in here. They also have ways to use the corks!

25 things to do with wine bottles

I received this in exchange for honest and unbiased review. I wanted to generate ideas on what to do with empty liquor bottles. I liked the pictures. Some of the designs were easy and some was a bit complicated but I did get some ideas.

Neat ideas, with photos

This craft book has some wonderful ideas, with photos and pretty detailed step-by-step instructions. Definitely need some tools and supplies, in order to make these crafty ideas, but most seem worth it.

Muy buenas fotografias. Las instricciones son claras, pero si no sabes tejer con instrucciones escritas en vez de diagramas no te va ser de ayuda. De igual manera debes saber trabajar con metales para cubrir los bordes. Tiene desde ideas basicas hasta avanzadas.

Clever yet Simple

I downloaded the free version and you get what you pay for. There were some easy projects but many required tools I don't own. Pintrest offers more information and wider variety.

INTERESTING THINGS TO MAKE WITH WINE BOTTLES AND CORKS

I found this to be as easy guide to follow to some creative ideas for crafts with bottles and corks. Recycling and embellishing can be so much fun. Good ideas for everyday items too.

Wine Bottles

This is really outdated. So many of these ideas have been over-used. If you are a total beginner it might be good, but no one else

Nothing new

I was hoping to see some new, creative ideas, but did not find that in this book. The one star is indicative of the disappointment.

Good for ideas w/ arts and crafts

Some of the ideas are blah. While others I really liked and may try when my mom comes to visit.

More junk!

Nothing different or special. The finished designs were not pretty or unique...just more craft junk. I gave two stars for the author’s effort.

Cute ideas

Found on FreeBooksy, this is a nice book. Not too many of the ideas were my "style", however, my favorite was the little cork sailboats ⛵

Not really what you think.

Many of these are not with, but for wine bottles. Some are ok. Do yourself a favor and just go to YouTube.

Looking for a little inspiration for a few special wine bottles (empty of course). This book was a waste of time - fortunately, it was very short!

Download this ebook free from Amazon and told my wine loving aunt about it.

I love the snowball wine bottles vases.
I think they'd be great centerpieces for a winter wedding!

I could so see my aunt doing the tuscan grape wine bottle one.

the beaded wine cork keychains are adorable.

Christmas wine bottle cover is an eye sore.

Step 1: Make sure you have lots of bottles and corks at hand before you start any of these projects. That said, the most inept crafter should be able to complete these projects and eve customize each one.
A lot of fun for little money. What more can you ask for?
