Looking for a new craft hobby?
I’m looking for a new craft to get involved in an evening or two a week. I tend to like crafts that involve “sparkly” things…like making ornaments, bracelets, beaded pens, metallic cross-stitch, etc. Just looking for new and different ideas in that vein…ideally something I can make as unique gifts.
Also, not kid-oriented or silly stuff. Looking for something elegant and tasteful (subjective, I know!).
