I am not crafty. I don't know how to sew (although I tell myself that I could probably figure it out), I don't know how to knit, but I did learn how to crochet once. If you ask me how to do it now, I would most certainly tangle the yarn. I can't really draw or sketch that well. I have never refinished any pieces of furniture, or made a product from scratch. I have put together quite a few bookshelves from Target, but I am not sure that those count haha. So why all of this self-deprecation? I am hoping to change all of this in the future! I am not going to lie. I don't like to take my time with things, especially creating something. If someone else can make what I need, I'm good! However, with a new house and a limited budget, I am quickly realizing that sometimes it is more cost effective to get something done yourself. But, if I am being completely honest, Pinterest scares the crap out of me! Everything looks so easy to do! I was reading through some favorite blogs of mine, and I feel as though everyone is a crafter?! Anyone else get that feeling? Or am I the only one that is craft challenged?! Whatever the truth is, I am CONSIDERING trying out the following crafts/DIY pieces from Pinterest:
Disclaimer, if I fail at this goal, I am fully prepared to look to Etsy for the desired product! :)
If you craft, what is your advice for a novice crafter?! What would you suggest I start with first?! What are some of your most successful crafts?! Any advice/help/direction would be greatly appreciated :)
As always, thank you for taking the time to read!
