Answer 1

There are blogs and websites that can help you. The crafts page on American Made Yes  shows pictures of things you can make and the instructions and where you can buy craft kits and supplies.

There are two projects offered without charge on the website, with pictures and full instructions.The free instructions are for an easy to make planter and an easy to make miniature satiny bed for a doll house. The satiny bed uses ordinary things like an old cd which cut in half makes the headboard. It is very clever. Then there is the planter which uses a straw basket. It makes a nice gift filled with plants and is easy to do and practical.

There is also a feature for making a cold frame, with a link to the free instructions, and pictures of the cold frame under construction. This is, of course, a project requiring a fair amount of skill but fun to do and very useful indeed.

Some  super websites that offer kits are Greenleaf Dollhouses with wonderful miniatures you can make, birdhouses that can be hung in the garden, and crafts kits from Janlynn, Toner Crafts, Wildwood Crafts, and others. You'll find all these listings with pictures on http://americanmadeyes.com/crafts.html
