Families can talk about the benefits of being creative. What do crafts teach you? Patience? Imagination? How can you apply those things to other areas of life?

All projects feature close-up photos and detailed instructions so you won't be tied up in knots yourself. First, you need to learn the basics, especially the correct way to count your stitches while making a project. There are clear instructions on how to do that, too. And what exciting projects are offered! There's an excellent and realistic cobra bracelet, a fishy zipper pull, and even a rocket ship.

My enthusiasm for this craft grew even more!
This website is a great resource for me as I love to play with gimp and plan to form a club for middle school students in the fall. Now I have all summer to play around and create examples for my students so they can see what they can do. The photography is excellent-you can teach yourself easily with a little practice. It is great to learn how to finish the projects cleanly so that they will last long and look great. Thank you!!
