Making From Home
Making is the new buzzword for crafting but with a technology component. Truly, though, it's about creative thinking. What can I make out out of this thing I found? Once you ask the question, your mind opens up and ideas begin to flow. Just be sure you're ready when they do. The lists below are just for starters and most certainly NOT comprehensive. Just start collecting stuff and MAKE a way!
Basic supplies for most crafts:
Glue - liquid, stick, and hot
Scissors
Craft knife (Exacto, etc.)
Markers/crayons/colored pencils
Paint - watercolor (pallets are only a $1 at Dollar Tree), acrylic, and/or tempera
String or yarn
Needles - darning and sewing
