So what is your favorite craft

I think in order my favorite crafts are Cardmaking, scrapbooking, altered art, felting, patchwork and quilting, tile painting, jewelery making(mainly involving papercrafts)

I think everyone can create beautiful things, something that was nearly destroyed in me by really poor art teachers at school. just because you can't draw dos nt mean you are not artistic.

I have found numerous ways of expressing that thanks to craft and thanks to computer graphics packages.

So if you would love to create something beautiful, but were told you were not artistic. Just go to a craft class and give something a try. Find your artistic mojo

Great Money Saving tips for Crafters

So you want more for your dosh

Buy fabric flowers from pound shops and cheap shops then take them apart. look for flowers that have many layers and complete circular heads on each layer. i once got 50 heads from 2 inches upto 4 inches for 50P or 25cents
Go to your local wallpaper store and ask if they will give or sell you the old wallpaper sample books. They are a great resource as a lot of times you will get them for nothing and get great unusual and textured papers for your crafting. keep in mind that they are rarely acid free so keep them away from photos if you are using them in scrapbook projects.
Run out of alcohol inks. Try dabs of permanant marker and dab with nail varnish remover
Want your foam pads to match your project use co ordinating coloured fun foam and run it through your zyron

    Hi

    You recently applied to join my Crafts and Hobbies Group on Squidoo, however your lens does not quite fulfil the Group Rules which you can see here - http://www.squidoo.com/groups/crafts/#module2314616

    Please feel free to reapply if your lens meets these requirements in the future.

    Kind Regards
