Crafts & Hobbies: Craftspiration!

The video is a real hoot!

The One Hour Crafts has some fun ideas and some good links. Found a cute easy to make scarf that doesn't require knitting, crocheting or anything but winding yarn. I like the Curbly Video on using paper nakins to make coasters. I love the garland idea from Kiddley, can be used for any season, especially Christmas. There are also some good organising ideas for crafts. This is a good website for making bias tape.

craftzine had an interesting yo-yo crocheted afgan. Maybe more time consuming than I want to do. I don't crochet much, but from her site, she had a recipe for cream cheese mints that looks easy to make.

A really cute Valentine pin craft and easy to make. Another craft with buckets and pictures decoupaged on to the outside.

One website I like when I have time is from the PBS series Bead, Baubles & Jewels.

I'm also finding good stuff on Repurposeful including what to do with leftover coffee.

I like these kinds of sites, there is just never enough time in the week to do everything I would like.

Catahedron Costume - More cool how to projects


WikkiHow has a lot of stuff, but under my interest, beading, it could do with more pictures. Looking at some other stuff, some looks like fun.

HowStuff Works is fun for learning how stuff works, but I don't see it so much for how to fix stuff.

Instructables has good instructions and most seem to have good pictures. A couple of beading sites were good with good pictures. I love the Catahedron project, very patient cat.


Looking at the subjects, Expert Village seems to have a lot of good videos, but they keep freezing on my and I just don't have the time. I would rather look a page with instructions and occassionally go to a video if I need clarification.




So different sites have different kinds of help or information. I like knowing about some of the sites that are new to me.
