Craft Resources Online - My Favorites
Here is a list of my favorite craft websites that I enjoy visiting for ideas and materials.
For shopping, I have to go with the big ones.
JoAnn
I enjoy JoAnn for craft items and recently for fabric. I just bought a new sewing machine. I didn’t buy it at JoAnn’s although I did go their first. They didn’t have a great selection and a lot of boxes but no machines. I researched online and actually found the machine I liked at Walmart. Which is another great place for craft items and fabrics. The machine I bought was a Brother SE350 which is a cross between an sewing machine and an embroidery machine.
Hobby Lobby
A great craft store that is within 5 miles of my house.
Michael’s
Another great craft store. I especially like the dollar items and craft kits they carry for children.
So those are actually brick and mortar stores that also have a web presence. Their websites are as important as their stores are. I also enjoy a handful of other sites for inspiration, tips and tricks.
www.threadbanger.com
www.diynetwork.com
www.hgtv.com
www.instructables.com
The above sites all have tips as well as projects outlined. The best part is videos showing hands on examples. If you know exactly what you are looking for, you can also search on u-tube for videos explaining how to do the craft you desire to learn.
If you have other sites you visit on a regular basis, I’d love for you to share them with me in the comment area below. And, thanks in advance!
