If you adore crafts as much as I do, and you’d like to see some of the crafty things I’ve created or want some ideas to get you started with a new craft, then you’ve come to the right place.
For all my favorite crafts, I’ve curated some lists of the best equipment available, favored by artists and fellow craft enthusiasts to get the most they can out of their own work.
It really does make a world of difference. The right equipment means you’re able to truly express yourself to the fullest. And the satisfaction you get when everything just goes right is second to none.
I’ve also made a Big Bumper List of Creative Hobbies and Craft Ideas for you to check out. This is my absolute favorite, super-easy, old-fashioned honey, and oatmeal soap. It’s a delicately scented moisturizing soap – it’s long-lasting with a good lather, so it’s perfect for a bath or shower. Read more…

Candle and Soap Making
Crafts that you can actually use after you’re done making something exquisite. I think you can see why these therapeutic crafts are so especially popular.

Here are my guides to what you’ll need for candle making or soap making:

The Craft Room (Organizers, Storage)
Then comes the craft room itself. Keeping things stored away neatly really does wonders for keeping your materials pristine. Not to mention, how much easier it makes tidying everything away!
