Ribbon; check, glue; check, glitter; check, a thousand and one ideas; check.
When it comes to crafting, there are always a thousand supplies that you need and a thousand things that you can make but sometimes getting from the craft store to the completed project can be a difficult task in itself. That is where this site is going to help you.
If you are like me, you may not be the craftiest of people. Oh sure, you can wield a glue gun like you wield a butter knife but coming up with the ideas may leave you completely at a loss. There are tons of things to do, but how exactly do you do them.
When I first navigated the crafty waves of the creative ocean, I was often lost. I would pick up one craft and completely lose my way before I dropped it to the wayside and picked up another. It was a horrible time because I wanted to be the Martha Stewart of my home, making beautiful centerpieces that wowed my guests and made me the envy of the neighborhood but I just couldn’t get to that point.
Holiday Crafts
We've got a number of fun holiday crafts for all ages! If you're looking for fun Christmas crafts, stop by our Christmas Crafts page to get started or browse our archives of Holiday Crafts for craft ideas for every season.

What I did learn, through trial and error is that, a) I don’t want to be Martha, although I love her amazing detailing in all her crafts, I just don’t have the need for all the meticulous details, and b) If I lowered my standards, even by just an inch, my creations can still be beautiful, maybe not completely a-symmetrical but still beautiful.
So what does my epiphany mean to you? Well first, you don’t have to be Martha Stewart either. Don’t you feel much better all ready? Second, you came to the right spot for all your craft ideas.
Here you can find crafts that can be done by anyone. Whether you are an experienced crafter that puts Martha Stewart to shame or a complete novice, you will be able to reproduce some amazing crafts that will awe anyone that comes to your home.
We truly believe that everyone can be crafty, all it takes is an excellent how to, a few helpful tips and all the support and resources that we offer here. Oh, and a good glue gun to pull all those projects together.
Now that you are here, why don’t you browse through our crafts, add a few ideas when you have a new one and remember that the key to making an excellent craft is not in the perfection but in the little flaws that personalize the finished product.

I remember when I was six, my sister brought home a bag of beads and an assortment of saftey pins. At first I wasn’t sure what she was going to do with them but then she began creating all sorts of beaded pins. I admit that I made my share of pins with her but [...]

I love the beach. Not really for the fact that I get to parade around in a bathing suit, I mean, no one wants that for whatever reason, but simply because I can search around in the sand for various little trophies. I also love sitting in the sand with my kids and trying to [...]

It seems like only yesterday that I was wrapping up presents for Christmas and I was a little surprised to realize that I would be helping my kids create their little Valentine’s bags soon. I am never a big participator in Valentine’s. Maybe it is because of the holiday, or maybe it is simply that [...]

Although Christmas has just passed, I find that every January, I start storing away a few ideas for gifts for the following year. Christmas is still fresh in my mind and while the memories are still vivid, I will jot down a few craft ideas that I saw over the holiday. This may seem a [...]

When I first began stamping cards, I was under the assumption that ink was ink was ink. There really was no difference between any of them and there was no reason to worry about it. I could easily get the same techniques using straight ink but unfortunately, that was not true. There is a difference [...]

Have you ever taken your child’s hand, dipped it into paint and then stuck it to a piece of paper? If you are a parent, you probably had a hundred different times and more than likely, you have washed those hand prints off the walls. There is always something so wonderful about a child’s hand [...]

I love to scrapbook and stamp. I was first introduced to it about 5 years ago when I went to a co-workers stamping party. At first I wasn’t sure what to think of it but I produced my first card and was hooked. I loved it completely so I went and ordered a number of [...]

I know that I have posted a craft about stamped plates before but I thought I would post a different way to create a stamped plate. This is actually an easier way to do it and you don’t have to worry about finding a sealer that you can use on dinnerware. Although the example shows [...]
