Best of the Blessed in Crafts
Ranked #480 in Squidoo Community, #67,990 overall | Donates to BuckHawk Center Animal Rescue
A Difficult Choice
Let me begin by saying that I am the one who is blessed to serve as a Squid Angel in the Crafts neighborhood. I love crafts, I love Squidoo and I love being a Squid Angel. It is truly an honor to read these awesome lenses, try some of these great ideas and leave behind a bit of praise for a job well done.
If I have blessed your craft lens, you can rest assured that I consider your lens to be among the best on Squidoo and the best in the Crafts Neighborhood! Therefore, choosing only 10 lenses to feature here was a very difficult assignment.
It would be my greatest desire that anyone reading here, would recognize that the lenses featured are only a sample of the perfection that can be found in the Crafts neighborhood. I would welcome you to also take a look at all of the craft lenses I have blessed by visiting Squid Angel Mouse Tracks in Crafts.
Crafting a Kits Lens
WildFacesGallery has perfected the art of presentation. This lens is an example of excellence. Her love of cross stitch is evident in the beautiful way she features these angel cross stitch kits and her presentation makes me want to purchase all of them.
Simple and Beautiful
Beingasha gives us a beautiful craft with excellent and easy to follow directions. The photos of her own work are gorgeous and certainly all of the encouragement needed to pull out our plain plates, a bit of fabric, Mod Podge and start creating our own works of art.
Originality Shines
Originality is often the desired result and the purpose for a crafter's work. RitaK offers a lovely example with excellent instructions for making a one of a kind showpiece.
Something Old Becomes Something New
If you are looking for originality in fashion, you need look no further. Bevspaper will expertly instruct you on how to make your own designer purse with your own beloved piece of literature. A fabulous way to show the world your love of reading, your crafting aptitude coupled with the true designer inside of you.
Trash Becomes Treasure
Fashioning jewelry is another awesome way to exhibit your personal fashion preferences as well as your crafting talent. This tutorial, presented by AlteredKat, is truly one of the best tutorials I am seen on Squidoo. Her simple written instructions, featured with her dazzling photos, is the perfect example of an exceptional craft tutorial.
Bookmarking Excellence
Crafters are always searching for easy gifts to make. These bookmarks are a wonderful way to personalize a gift and show the recipient you were thinking of them when you created their present. They will also remind the recipient of you and your love each time they mark their place in a book. In my opinion, Puzzlemaker is an expert in writing easy craft lenses. This is only one example of her most excellent articles.
Sensational Step by Step
Paperfacets provides us with the perfect pattern and instructions for tea bag folding. She makes it so easy, we will soon all find ourselves embellishing our cards, scrapebooks, etc. with these gorgeous designs.
Pattern Perfection!
Crafters are always searching for free, easy to follow patterns and instructions. Plastic canvas is one of the easiest needlework crafts and this tissue box pattern with step by step photos, provided by Miss_Organic, is simply fabulous.
Detailed Direction
Origami is often one of the first crafts people try. Children love to create cool creatures with paper and Tipi has shared a very popular choice. Her exceptional pictorial, accompanied by written instructions, is exactly what an Origami enthusiast is seeking when they search the internet for a "how to" article.
Spectacular Simplicity
This lens has it all! Originality, exceptional instructions, lots of pictures and easy to find supplies to make an awesome craft! Lensmaster, gods_grace_notes, shares her own beautiful creation which has been made simply enough for even a child, with a bit of adult supervision. This is not only a beautiful craft, but it is a "most excellent" presentation.
Conclusion
There are many wonderful lenses in our craft neighborhood. These are just a few examples of excellence. I look forward to discovering even more in my travels on Squidoo.
