Crafting the Crunch
The economy is acting funny and crafting is in a renaissance - coincidence? I don’t think so! When times get tough people rely on their ingenuity and, well, get crafty. Mending your own clothes, making your gifts and cooking at home are just three of the ways crafters and regular folks are making the best out of tough times.
Here are a few of my favorite DIY Recessionista finds:
1. Hermes DIY Paper Handbags - because nothing says awesome like papercraft and Birkins.
2. Credit Crunch Embroidery - Wow! Love it!
3. Burda Style - yes yes - we know they are now charging for most patterns, but it’s like $2 - 4 a download and you can print at home!
What’s your favorite recession tip, trick or recipe?
