Craft Exchange

Home » How To » Crafts » Craft Exchange

Way back in December of 2012, the Craft Exchange was born. Every 4 months since, then my little crafting squad creates hand-make crafts inspired by a different theme like Steampunk or Breakfast in Tiffany’s and send them to all the other members. Then we get to nerd out over techniques, tools, supplies, what went right, what went wrong. It’s loads of maker fun that feeds our creative side and you can catch up on all our Craft Exchange projects and maybe get some inspiration for your own – right here!
