A great resource for any quick craft needed and the projects listed are interesting and inexpensive. The mediums could be switched out to include anything from very nice cords to something as simple as jute twine. I would like to try the "Industrial Plant Hanger" on page 28 and for a group project; The Chinese Button Knot Necklace on page 12. A great little look through book!
