2016 Top Crafting Favorites
It's that time of year when most of us look back to see what projects were viewed the most and do a round up of the favorites. My philosophy when making crafts has always been - there are no new crafts, just new ways to make them. In other words, revamping old trends. And many of my most popular craft projects in 2016 were just that. I've always tried to create projects that are inexpensive and easy to make. They were mostly re-purposed, recycled, upcycled, green projects that highlighted everyday items like cans, ribbon, foam, cardboard, paper, and natural fibers.
A big "thank you" to Hometalk for featuring and highlighting my creations resulting in amazing exposure for my blog.
