First, very few of he items can be considered sex TOYS.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
Here are example of what they tell you:
* Use a basic crochet knot and make a Member Warmer
(doesn't even tell you how to link to the next row)...
* Cut a hole in a bar of soap and have squeaky clean fun...
* Buy a flexible stick and duct tape shoe laces or leather strips to make a flogger...
* Put gold leaf on her breast to look sexy...
* Sew a short strip of elastic to make a ball stretcher...
* Run a cord through some wood beads to make love beads...
* Put a condom in an old sock, fill with lube, have fun...
* Make a hole in a ripe melon, heat in microwave for 30 seconds, Have fun...
This is, without a doubt, the biggest waste of money I've ever seen!

This book has been a go-to this winter for fun, easy to accomplish craft projects for my daughter Mindy's Brownie Scout Troop. There are 50 individual projects listed so each girl can make at least two items which will certainly come in handy for Mother and Father's Day presents later this spring. As soon as I took the book out of the paper bag, the girls started to circle round, wide eyed in wonder at all the fun and stimulating projects before them. In fact, they started to scream and cover their eyes! Little girls of that age can be so excitable, can't they? This book has also been a big hit at my son's Cub Scout meetings as well. There is enough to interest boys as well as girls. I highly recommend this craft book!

I am the Activity Director at a nursing home and I bought this book for craft day and had the ladies make various objects found in the book. I didn't have the opportunity to ask them if they liked what they created since many of them went to their rooms immediately after their projects were completed. But I do know one thing, our patients are so much happier. There were times when I'd catch the ladies sneaking over to the rooms of our male patients which is strictly against our nursing home policy. Since the ladies have made their devices we no longer have this issue. If anything the ladies are staying in their rooms a lot more. An extra added bonus is that we haven't lost any patients since this craft activity took place. One patient who was bedridden for 6 years is now able to move about the nursing home without assistance. A couple of our male patients who have seen the devices are interested in making their own so I am currently planning a craft day for them as well.

Very cute, more male-oriented
This is a fun book, cleverly written and illustrated. The projects are more entertaining than inspiring and there are definitely more items for men than for women. Read more

Christmas present
Very funny. Do not recommend that you use any of these toys. Leave on your coffee table or give to someone as a gift.

This book is a "Do-It-Yourselfers" wet dream!
OK, I hate to gush but... wait, it occurs to me that may not be the best choice of words to begin a review on a "Make Your Own Sex Toys" book. Let me rephrase that... Read more
