So I know a lot of people hobby craft or even craft to sell their crafts and make a little extra cash. I'm wondering how many folks here craft. So here is my question.
Do you make any crafts? What? Is this hobby crafting, making gifts, or do you sell your crafts?
I do lots of different crafts. Some are hobby crafts, like plastic canvas. I love to have my hands busy so when I'm bored I do plastic canvas projects. I also enjoy making jewelry. However you can only make so much jewelry for your own use. And currently I have over 30 pairs of earrings crafted. I am creating more all the time. So I have a display that I keep them on and I sell them at craft fairs, here at the campground when I have an opportunity, and hopefully soon I will be selling them online as well.
What do you craft?

I am a traditional artist, but I also make things with yarn. I've also made things with plastic canvas, too. If you do decide to sell them online, you can try Etsy. It's like eBay for handmade items and I think it's a lot more seller friendly.

I do not craft at all. But I have great admiration for people who do this because I know the hard work, meticulous planning and the difficulty that goes in the finishing touches. I really bow my head in deference to the artist who created such works of art and I gaped with awe at the different hand works of art I saw in a handicraft exhibition recently. I have posted one such work which is a typical handicraft from Delhi in India

I am a crafter. I do quite a lot of different crafts: ceramics, polymer clay, crochet, hand bags, and a lot of others. I do sell my crafts. I have a website and I have a shop on etsy. I also rent booths at flea markets.

I Make Jewelry also, and have sold many items around my area. I make beaded bracelets and necklaces. I have made some earrings, but not many. I am getting into wire-wrapping presently. I also have an etsy account, but I haven't sold anything there yet.

I have always had an interest in crafting. I like experiencing new things and test out new things, and i find that crafts can help you do this. I like to make anything really i just start with something small then build on it and add new things. I do it as a hobby mainly, but if there is some sort of occasion coming up like birthdays or christmas i like to craft cards. I have spent hundreds of pounds in the past two years on materials to craft. I havent quite got to the stage of selling crafts because i do not know weher any local crafts fairs are in my local area.
