What crafts are good to sell or give as gifts? ?
I want to make some crafts to sell and I also want to make gifts this year for christmas instead of buying them. I'm pretty ok with a sweing machine, I'd say my skill is medium (quick question, the thread on my sewing machine comes off a lot, is this normal or am i doing something wrong?) I have a lot of felt on hand and different fabrics and many different glues. I'm also pretty good at baking. Feel free to provide links to anything.
I've been doing eye masks and basic felt ipod cases.
Thanks! -Spohie
I made cross-stitched bookmarks for last Christmas using aida band as well as some DMC thread leftovers -very easy and quick to do even though cross-stitching is done by hand!
