Fun New Features

We've started something new, just for you. In the online world of crafty blogs, social media shares and too much caffeine - it's hard to keep up with all the new crafting trends, DIYs and awesome tutorials out there on the internet. We brainstormed, bantered and badgered until we got the go ahead to feature our favorite bloggers and all their cool ideas at Craftown!

In order to keep up with the latest and greatest, freshest and trendiest (yes, I just made that word up) we'll be posting little features about all the neat stuff we find that we think you'll love to make, create, craft and paint; not to mention knit, sew and crochet.

Basically, you get access to more great content than ever before, bloggers get fun little write-ups about how awesome they are and we walk away feeling happy and content that we could share crafty goodness with all.

Here's just the tip of the iceberg. Try not to be overwhelmed.

Christmas Countdown Crafts!

Is it too soon to count down the days until...Christmas break is over and the kids go back to school?  Hmm, maybe?  Until then, browse our Christmas countdown crafts and add one to your home's holiday decor.  The nice thing about these crafts is they are fairly simple, come together easily, and are budget friendly.

Also, though they may have a "Christmas" flavor to them, they can each be adapted to other countdown causes, such as New Year's, Easter, Football Season, Opening day of hunting season, and birthdays!  The simplicity of these crafts truly allow you to be as creative as you want to be.  And let's face it, we might as well get creative if we have to watch the numbers tick by.

Be sure to submit a picture of your results to our site.  We love to see what you're craftin'!
