Crafts

Doing things with our own hands is a real pleasure. Create something from nothing. Being able to recycle materials that we believe are useless and see that we give them a second life.

Make crafts and make them beautiful. That is wonderful.

Crafts, DIY, how to, intermingle without having a clear separation. Almost anything on the blog we could say is a craft, but in this section we include the articles in which we do something
