I would like to start doing a little craft work. I want to try to do this for a couple of reasons. First to maybe sell them and make a little extra money and second to have some sort of hobby. I think it would be great to do something a little more productive with my free time other than to st in front of the computer. Any suggestions?

Hello dear barbiegirl. It is really a very nice idea to make some arts and crafts if you can so that you can also sell them somewhere for some dollars and once you are capable of doing this job well, you can make it as a way of living and you will not have to go out to work for somebody, but for your own. I have always been thinking about being my own boss to make a living though it is difficult for me to have my dream come true. I hope that you will enjoy a lot of your nice idea and put it into real action. Good luck, my dear friend.

a pretty candle - I found this and wanted to share it is a pretty candle.
I have found that just finding something you like to do sew,crochet,paint,or anything all you have to do is try,beading and scrap booking are very popular and rather simple to do you can buy pre packaged kits in the store to get an idea for something to make or just use your imagination I freewill alot and just goof around and end up with some pretty neat things.i have made blankets and pillows,necklaces and braclets and rings.I just use my imagination and use things I have around the house alot.i pick things up at yard sales that are cheap or free to help along the way.you can make lots of things out of pipe cleaners.I hope this helps and happy holidays.

go to the library and take a look at the selection of craft books that they have there. there is a plethora of craft ideas to choose from such as card making, beading or needlework. this may give you some inspiration!
