Whenever I see cute pen and pencil pouches at a store, I can’t help myself, I always want to buy them. I’ve actually collected quite a few canvas pencil pouches over the years to use as carryalls for my art supplies. When I’m traveling I always seem to have at least one pen and pencil…
Rock crafts are a favorite among kids and there’s an endless supply of ideas to help you plan the perfect rock crafting playtime. I’ve rounded up 25 awesome rock crafts from story stones and painted rock puzzles, to galaxy stones and even rocks that can be turned into jewelry.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to hand letter and I actually follow quite a few hand lettering artists on Instagram. One of my favorite hand lettering artists I follow is Erin from @GoFontYourself and I’m excited to have her as a guest poster to tell you all about how to get started with hand lettering and the best hand lettering supplies for beginners. After reading Erin’s post, I’m definitely ready to start hand lettering myself.
Did you play with perler beads (aka melty beads) when you were a kid? I sure did and I have to admit that I have just as much, if not more fun, playing with them as an adult. There are so many crafty things you can do with them, including making your own DIY iPhone case. This tutorial is easy as can be. The hardest part is figuring out your design.
