I wasn't a professional craftsperson when I first got started. I just made some wood craft items as a hobby in my garage and after one thing let to another, I ended up making a nice little income from my part time wood craft business at craft shows and in two stores I opened. I wish I had a place like this one to share my crafts online and to see other creative craft ideas.
Just like your homemade crafts, this site is also "homemade." Everything on this site is handled by me and several contributing authors who share their craft making expertise by writing articles and how-to instructions that are published on the site. Perhaps you'd like to contribute some of your expertise. I built this site sitting in front of my computer just like you are right now. Every article, photo, and craft project submission is reviewed one by one to make sure that only the best and coolest handmade craft resources, tips and ideas are shared here.
We hope you enjoy the photos, tips, and how-to instructions on this site, find inspiration in creating your own crafts, and help us make this free resource even better by sharing with us your own creations, projects, and photos, and by commenting on the craft projects you liked, and sharing this site with your friends.
