Join us for another March National Craft Month! As you can imagine, this is our favorite month of the year! We spent many hours preparing new crafting ideas that we reveal to you in March to celebrate this crafting month! Our team came up with some fun, easy, and trendy craft projects that we hope you’ll try. These crafts are also a way to teach you how to use some popular techniques that you can reuse on other projects. We hope you’ll enjoy making these projects as much as we did!
