What is the best art and craft project you have done?
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010I have a lot of time on my hands this summer, and I would like a new hobby. I want to create something that will last a lifetime and make a great gift. What are some good things to do?
Everybody’s suggestions so far are good. I have done lots of sewing, needlepoint, cross-stitch etc. over the years, as well as scrap-booking and making my own greeting cards. The sculpting and large scale art projects for scenery, are a little beyond my present scope. I have done jewelry making in the past. The enameling is something I haven’t tried yet. Let’s see if anything more exotic comes up, and let the voters decide?
I really like the face mats, too! My Mom and I used to do a similar project but using old Greeting Cards, Christmas Cards, etc. If you get enough for each season, you can then laminate and change them for the seasons.
