This book is seriously outdated, yet I enjoyed it . It provides a window into simpler days when you made your own party decorations and a trashcan, mop and some tinfoil could be transformed into a suitable centerpiece for a bridal shower. Back then foil was an affordable material and could be used to create elaborate sculptures and decorations. Even though I might not make any of the decorations listed, the book provided some fun ideas and techniques for crafting today.
