Are you all inspired now to wrap gifts in furoshiki fabric but aren’t sure where to start? One of the suggestions from Furoshiki Faric Wraps was to use a reclaimed scarf or vintage fabric, and I totally love that idea. If you want your furoshiki (or any fabric-based craft project) to have a more modern feel, though, you’re sometimes better off springing for new fabric.
Of course you want to avoid the conventional cotton, and why not support a crafty business at the same time, right? Here are some eco-friendly fabrics from indie designers!
Got a gift-giving occasion coming up? Instead of wrapping your gift in paper that’s headed straight to the bin, you can make the wrapping part of the present with a beautiful, handmade furhoshiki.
Folks don’t necessarily associate crafting with activism, but like my pal Kelly Rand, I’m a firm believer that crafters can help save the world. Craft is more than just making things by hand. When you start habitually making things, it changes your perspective.
I’ve always had a tough time with new year’s resolutions, but last year I made a crafty one, and it was so much fun that I decided to do the same thing this year. I talked a bit more in-depth about my new year’s resolution over at Green Upgrader, but I thought I’d share mine here, too, and I hope that you’ll share yours!
There’s a new maker collective here in Atlanta, and they’ve got lots of awesomeness up their sleeves!
