So Many Crafts, So Little Time!

I am absolutely amazed at all the wonderful, creative craft ideas that can be found out there on The Internet and being an uncrafty person myself (a person who by nature is not crafty, meaning it doesn't come easily, but I'm trying to learn), I'm so very thankful for the step-by-step directions many people have been so gracious to share!

My computer "Ideas" bookmark folder has become completely stuffed with things I've come across that are so cute with clear instructions for creating them and seem attemptable, perhaps, even for me! Who knows if/when I'll find the time to try all of these, but I thought I'd share 13 of them with you and spread the crafty joy!

1. TaDa Creations - Ruffle Peasent Dress

2. Crazy Domestic - Popsicle Brownies

3. Sugarplum Creations - Mini Boden look-alike t-shirt

4. Tatertots and Jello - Super Easy & Cute T-Shirt Refashion

5. Family Fun - Crystal Caterpillar Kid Craft

6. Jump up and down - Ruffle Pants

7. Toad's Treasures - Another Mini Boden knock-off shirt

8. Made - The Market Skirt

9. Noodlehead - Gathered Clutch Tutorial

10. Poppy Chic Designs - Shabby Chic Ruffle Necklace

11. Fly Away Home - DIY Vintage Chalkboard Frames

12. Tea Rose Home - Fabric Covered Bead Bracelet

13. New Nostalgia - Homemade Scratch N Sniff Paint


Do you have any great craft tutorials to share?

  1. Nice list! My first stop here.

    I used to be active on swap-bot where they have some of the most amazing crafters. I got rather fond of Artist Trading Cards and Button Fairies. I'm not much of a sew-er, although I do like to do quilt piecing.

  2. I am SO doing the popsicle brownies for my daughter's birthday next month! She's in marching band, and will be in camp on her birthday, so this will be something easy to make for all the kids. Thanks!

  6. Oh great list! i bookmarked it and will have to go through all of them. I know my idea folder got insane too! I started using the program evernote (it's like a virtual notebook) and saving the sites in different folders and tagging them by type of craft (scrapbook, sewing, etc) so I didn't loose them. Plus if they take down their site I still have the ideas saved! :)

    Happy Thursday! You have inspired me!
