These timeless domestic crafts are described in the Project Guide and include detailed instructions with corresponding photographs for 10 projects that you can make to customize and personalize your very own Crafted House.
Basic craft instructions and principles can be modified and applied to life-size projects. Adult and children’s painting, knitting, crocheting and other craft classes are often offered at local arts and crafts stores.
If you openly display your Crafted House (it makes a great end table!) your friends and family will surprise you with unexpected contributions. Tiny shells become bowls, twigs become wall art and pressed leaves become floor mats and coasters. Thrift stores, junk drawers and forest floors become treasure troves of inspiration and materials.
