Crafts You Like to Make for Fun, Holidays, Gift Giving and Profit

Hi All!

I know that we have a number of artsy-crafty people on this site. What are some of the things that you like to make, please?

Crafts can be made out of so many different types of material - paper, wood, glass, ceramics, plaster, objects of nature, string, metal, cloth, rubber, leather and other types of fabrics as well as other types of material and things too. They can be placed on tables and other horizontal surfaces, hung on walls, used as yard and porch decorations, tree decorations, door decorations, attached to clothing, possibly used as clothing of some sort, used in the hair of a person or adorning a pet in some way - just about anything goes with what to make and how to make crafts and where they might be placed...

I can think of the primary Western World holidays when someone might want to make a craft of some sort - Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. What about for some Eastern World holidays? Perhaps for special events that might only take place once in a person's life like graduations, retirements, etc. Let's not forget birthdays!

Perhaps you like to make crafts in general to give as gifts to loved ones, friends, co-workers, etc. with no special occasion being associated with making the craft? Perhaps you might make a craft just simply out of friendship with someone or for you to pass the time, or even to make to be used as a keepsake someday for your children.

Any successes with making crafts in order to make a profit on a regular or temporary basis?

Posting what materials to use and how to make the crafts, and of course, images, would also be great!

Please share what crafts you like to make for various reasons!

Thanks!

Yes, all edible..
chicken and beef stock, pickled beets, pickled dill asparagus and green beans, Grannys corn, chutney and jams.

I'll be making regular green beans in the next couple weeks (maybe) if I find the time.

The pickles sounds yummy.


Look forward to seeing more crafts.

There are a bunch of Craft Ideas and directions here:

Craft Kits - Craft Kits

Other ideas are to make pet treats

Dog Treat Recipes - Dog Treats and Dog Remedies

Or if you are into organic these are directions for organic recipes that could be a great craft.

Have fun!

So, what about some crafts that members have done, please? I realize that we might not have the "pool" of members here like we used to, that might be actively involved in that sort of thing.

Thanks!

Your stuff is great, Just Dahlia!

I'm just trying to find others on this site with "like" minds. The Art and Crafts sections of this site used to be really "alive" a couple of years ago. Some of those people that participated have now moved on... Some of us also really miss the way that things used to be in those forum topic areas.

Thanks!
