    Free Crafts, Craft Projects and Patterns
    to Make Easy Homemade Gifts

    mouse (3K)We have a nice assortment of new crafts this week, including two easy sewing patterns, and more new crafts for Halloween and Christmas.

    I've added some of my favorite crochet patterns, too, in a new Editor's Pick section of the newsletter.

    Creative Table Setting Lesson


    An easy way to combine art and a lesson in table setting.
    tablesetting3 (9K)tablesetting100 (2K)Table Setting Placemat
    Here's a creative art project that helps to teach the kids how to set the table for dinner.

    Just print the placemat, tell the short table-setting story, then get the kids to color the placemat. This is an imaginative way for them to remember where to put the fork, plate, knife, and spoon - and great fun to do as well!

    See our Kid's Crafts index for more children's crafts.
