This review is from: Favors with Flair: 75 Easy Designs for Weddings, Parties and Events (Paperback)

If you are going to undertake hand-crafting a few dozen Favors you want them to be easy but also fun and different. This book shows 75 ideas that perfectly fit the bill. Additionally, with most projects, the author gives an additional "tip" that effectively doubles the number of ideas. The color photography clearly shows each idea. The lists of necessary items and the "How to" steps are complete but leave plenty of room for your own creativity. I especially liked the "Rubber Ducky" favor! I have found this to be a very useful addition to my creative ideas library and, in fact, have given a couple to my friends.

Whenever I have something to create I usually browse through the craft store for ideas, but invariably end up feeling overwhelmed by all the different products instead of coming away with something to make. Favors with Flair showed me it's so much easier to START with an Idea -- and THIS BOOK HAS GREAT IDEAS! The assembly tips were so thorough that, whether following the item exactly or making a few personal-touch edits, the five projects I've now done with the help of Ms. Maloney's book have come out very professional looking -- and I'm very proud to say that I made them myself!

You will never need another how-to book for ideas and instructions to make a favor again. The instructions are excellent (so are the close-up pictures) and, the where to buy what you need items to make these favors are listed. Simple but elegant, beautiful, unique, oh how cute, favors for every occasion are in this book. Brilliant ideas and favors, Mary Lynn!
