I have always admired people who can do things like make their own clothing, knit a sweater, crochet a shawl and paint a realistic mural on a wall. Each one of us has a special skill. I used to be able to draw but I lost that skill over the years. I do have a good eye for details and I’m good with computer crafts, but I sure do wish I was able to create “handmade” things instead of on the computer.
There is an AMAZING site overflowing with easy instructions to make a wide array of handmade things. There must be instructions to hundreds of delightful things from Polymer Clay to Faux Foods, and from children’s toys to printables and EVERYTHING in between. Crafters and non-crafters alike will find dozens of must have treasures on You Can Make This.
You Can Make This is the “go to” web site if you want to learn a new craft, create a handmade gift or to make beautiful products for your friends and family.
The great thing about You Can Make This is that you DON’T have to be an “expert” to create these magical creations. Their step by step directions and photos help anyone at any skill level learn to create a fun project.
Check out these photos of some of the available instructions on You Can Make This. I think the photos speak for themselves.
You Can Make This even has FREE instructions where you can learn to make fun things like this S’Mores Scarf (too cute!).
They even have other instructions on how you can make crafts and recipes that you can SELL at craft fairs including these trendy flip flops (my daughter LOVES these!).
I have the You Can Make This Name Pillow instructions. I can honestly say that I am not very handy in the sewing department. I’m lucky if I can sew a button (ha ha). These instructions are so easy my ‘tween daughter can easily create a name pillow too. The instructions go step by step and include plenty of pictures. The Name Pillow instructions even come with the letter templates.
Here is what you can create with the Name Pillow instructions.
Name Pillows are great for both girls and boys. Both of my kids want me to make one for them. Since there are literally thousands of different fabric designs you can truly create a one of a kind Name Pillow to make any child’s room, hobbies, and favorite color. The possibilities are endless! I think it would be fun to make a pillow for the couch in our family name too. Maybe even a pillow for Grandpa and Grandma.
