I have tried making baskets, bags, hats, home decors and other stuff using indigenous materials or recycled ones. Doing this is so relaxing and I enjoy it so much. Two years ago, I started making beaded jewelries. My firends liked the pieces that I made so they asked me to make customized pieces for them and even introduced me to their friends who also bought some of my creations. I stopped making beaded jewelries when I got very busy in school. Now that Im done schooling, Im ready to work on making new pieces of jewelries and producing some other crafts. What craft do you enjoy doing?

I have taught myself and taken so many classes for just about everything: knitting, crochet, beading, bobbin lace, tatting, embroidery, latch hook, cross stitch, needlepoint... oh what else? I know there's more but just can't think of them right now.:-):-) But right now it looks like all I can make is jewerly... bead crochet, off loom weaving, stringing.:-) I have so many that I can wear a new piece every day of the month and not repeat any piece once.:-)

I like to painting about the viewer. That is my hobby.
This can be seen as good craft because it gives us real figure of our live.

I like to knit and to paint and redo old furniture and make it into "art". I have been reading about how to make throw rugs out of plastic bags,going to try that.I also want to try my hand at making a quilt from old t-shirts.

I enjoy making earrings! As it is simple to make~
And I have been attracted to make a quilt, I knew it when I surfed on the internet and found so many people can make their beautiful quilt. I still don't start the project now, but if I have much more time, it must be the first craft I will do without hesitation.

I enjoy most any craft...but my passion is designing and making teddy bears. I have been somewhat away from the craft since my Mom passed away in 2000, but I am picking it up again and starting to design and will soon be behind my sewing machine working away and getting ready for that first sale this year. I also will soon be selling on ETSY, both finished bears and extra supplies that I need to eliminate from my inventory.

I ABSOLUTELY enjoy scrapbooking. I just started one for my life during college and my little sister just recently had her birthday and is starting high school next year so I got her one as well and got some things to start her off with.

Its not exactly crafty but I do enjoy graphic design and film. I love the computer and I love being able to create something unique on it so thats where I always tend to go.

With your jewelry have you thought about making a website and selling them online? I figure that would be a great way to start a business especially now that you have time on your hand. If you don't want to start a website you can look into places like ebay for selling them as well. Its also great to find a craft that you love and see as a hobby and be able to make some sort of profit out of it.


merlibradley (39)   ranked 85 out of 1,416 in crafts  8 months ago

I have an old website where I posted the beaded jewelries. I am developing a new page at multiply.com where I will post not only the beaded jewelries but also the other crafts that made. I am not very good in web designing though so I think it will take some time to finish it. Thanks for the advice:-)


myLot reputation of 91/100. anotherxidentity (880)  8 months ago

No problem.

And don't worry too much about the actual design of the website. There are many programs you can buy which actually help design your site. If you want a more expensive one its called Dreamweaver and its absolutely amazing. Its what we use with school but since its Adobe - the cost is pretty high up there.

But either way, I did a lot of design back in high school and there are a ton of tutorials out there on the web and with a little messing around you'll be able to find exactly what you are looking for.

I have tried and enjoyed doing so many different crafts over the years. I started out years ago crocheting (made afghans for everyone I knew),then I did Christmas ornaments which I sold at craft shows, then Xstitching, then woodworking, candle making, beaded jewelry, magnetic jewelry and probably some I have forgotten. I have gotten rid of all my craft supplies in the last year except for my xstitch. I have hundreds and hundreds of books and patterns, floss etc etc. I would love to get back into it but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Maybe one day!lol


merlibradley (39)   ranked 85 out of 1,416 in crafts  8 months ago

Xstich is a lovely craft. I wanted to work on it when I was in college but my eyes aren't so good to follow those very little and detailed patterns. Thanks for the response.

I enjoy knitting and sewing,
This past winter I had started to learn how to knit. I had made giant cowl neck scarves for my friends as holiday gifts. I also like to sew doll clothes for fun.
