I’ve reflected on my top 10 posts published in 2017, looked back at the year overall, and now I’m sharing the top posts from a bunch of other craft bloggers! Over 30 of the The Best of the Best of 2017 crafts, with embroidery, crochet, painting, soap making, vinyl and more. If you have any crafty resisolutions for 2018, this is a great list to make something new, try a new method of making, and find new blogs to follow for fresh inspiration! Even better, maybe start working on handmade gifts for the 2018 holidays and you’ll end up finishing early (is it just me, scrambling at the last minute?).
Please pin the image above and not the project photos below; click through and pin from their direct links so no one gets lost in the shuffle! Nothing is worse than finding a pin on Pinterest that leads in a loop, drives me crazy.
