Easy crafts

Posted on 10/28/09, 12:14 pm

Hello! If anybody has suggestions for easy craft projects or a type of craft to get started with I would appreciate it. It needs to not involve a lot of hand work. It is sometimes difficult to use my fingers due to carpral tunnel syndome. Any ideas would be helpful. It is a long winter here in Il and it is hard to get out very often due to my medical issues.

So far I like to latch hook, paint figures, and color by number.

Thanks so much for your help!!!!

  Do you have a good printer with your computer?? I like to make tote bags with graphics I can get online as clipart. You can buy the appropriate paper at Walmart or craft stores that can be run through yopur printer and just iron on the tote bags. It is very easy. Altered crafts are easy too. You could make an altered clipboard by buying a cheap one (or using one you have already) and decoupage pictures or whatever you like using Mod Podge and then seal it with the Mod Podge!
  I posted a topic on making a purse out of a placemat that is sooooooo easy. It only involves a placemat, stitch witchery and your iron.
  
  Hope this gives you some ideas and I know all the creative souls on here will have more ideas!!
  
  Hugs,

  I LIKE TO PUT PUZZEL TO GETHER AND SHALACCKING THEM TOGETHER AND PUTTING THEM IN A PICTURE FRAME! I ALSO USED TO LOVE MAKEING GODS EYES!
  AND I LOVE TO RECYCLE, TAKE SOMETHING, THAT NO ONE HAS A USE FOR AND MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF IT!
