35 best craft websites

Remember the internet before Pinterest?

Well way back before you could browse craft ideas on Pinterest, I wrote this post.

Since then it’s been updated many times to reflect the coming and going of some of my favourite craft blogs.

As an aside, while these craft websites are super inspirational, if you’re looking to learn a new skill or hone an existing one – may be to save some money by making your own stuff, or to earn a little extra cash – taking a professionally-taught online course is the way to fast-track your learning. Check out my article on learning new skills for an affordable way to upskill!

  1. Does anyone have ideas for crafting up these? http://www.ikea.com/aa/en/catalog/products/40169054 from Dish clothes, small handtowels to facewashers. So useful. Easy to wash, use and replace when needed. I would love to gift some, but want to make it personal with some simple craft ideas.
    Any ideas?

  2. RE: One hour crafts- I just went for a look and :( the blog has finished. Details about the change are attached to the link, but no blog. Doh! I missed it :(
    Thought others might like to know.

  3. I like the washcloth idea. Could you hem a towel with a ribbon sewn into it?? Or embroider onto it? We have a baby one with an aplique fish on it and another with a machine embroidered octopus that are nice.

    Sorry about the broken link – I really need to get onto fixing those. As an alternative, I’ll share my best kept secret that I recently discovered:

    :)

    Actually, I should do another post, I have so many good craft blogs in my feed reader (that aren’t on this list) it’s not funny!

  4. I found a great crafting website within Dollar General! It’s called DIY @ DG – check it out! It has different categories for various skill levels and audiences.
