handicrafts with tutorials

I was doing my usual research on shopping resources and stumbled upon the nice blog of Scribbit, a mom of four and has a craft store at Etsy. I got curious and hopped over to check out her handcrafted collections.

Scribbit makes her crafts and even jots them down into tutorials so you can learn to make them yourself. This sturdy tote was made from a standard rectangular placemat with solid wood beaded handles attached with grosgrain ribbon. You can check out the tutorial for making these fun handbags here at http://scribbit.blogspot.com/2007/07/placemat-purses.html. No one can refuse a handmade gift that is filled with a touch of love and care.
