Crafternoon
Crafternoon: A Guide to Getting Artsy and Crafty with Your Friends All Year Long | Maura Madden
24 posts | 1 read
Hello, Crafternooners! Maura Madden invites you to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon of crafting.... Named after a monthly event that comedian and crafting superstar Maura Madden began hosting in 2002 as a way to get her friends together, meet new people, and have a good time making some cool stuff, Crafternoon is both an entertaining how-to guide and an irreverent social manifesto. Organized by month and theme, Crafternoon explains how to create and host a fun-filled casual gathering (including recipes for snacks and decorating tips) that celebrates the art of crafting. Knot nautical-themed crafts to wear, quilt new additions to your home decor, make the perfect gift for any holiday, or feel free to BYOP (bring your own project). All crafters are always welcome and encouraged to bring guests, and if your knitting or clay-shaping skills are a bit rusty, that's fine, too -- there are instructions aplenty! A must-have for anyone who wants to get their craft on, this quirky guide offers a twelve-month blueprint for a year of connecting with friends old and new, and enjoying a possibly messy, but always fulfilling afternoon.

Hey #litsycrafters I‘m sorry I‘ve been mostly MIA for a while. Other than obsessing over my BuJo, I haven‘t felt very crafty lately. I know it won‘t be like this forever, so in the meantime I wanted to share this brain map.

Chrissyreadit Love it!! 1y
Catsandbooks 😂 all the crafts! You're always welcome to share your bujo! Your other crafts will always be there to welcome you back when you're ready ❤️ 1y

peaKnit Where did you get this clever idea, I have medals laying around :) 3y
Kshakal @peaknit I saw them on Etsy but they ranged from $50-$75 ... I spent $10 on mine because I already had the board 3y

#IsolationInteractions I made these months ago and use them often! I get frustrated with crafting - I guess I‘m a bit of a perfectionist? 🤷‍♀️ I do want to learn how to knit or crochet though, at some point.

#IsolationInteractions - I've lost count of what day it is!

Let's get crafty! Today for creativity time we're making bookmarks. Let's see your best bookish crafts! Make a bookmark, a book bag, anything you can think of; or search the internet for a cool craft you'd love to do someday 😁

Have fun!

Cinfhen Love this photo 🤩🤩🤩 4y
ElizaMarie I am not incredibly crafty. Also I am not set up to craft as I am about to travel to my next contract... But I am excited to see what everyone comes up with! I usually use a nice postcard for my bookmarks :) 4y

Crazeedi Very cool! Great crafting👏❤ 4y
mydearwatson One of these days I‘m going to participate in these posts 🙃. 4y
DieAReader Not much of a crafter tbh. I go through spurts where I journal, make beaded necklaces or whatnot, or friendship bracelets sometimes. I bought a 16”x20” paint by number from Amazon before Christmas but, have not started yet. 4y

Kshakal @tpixie thank you!! I love it to and I made four circles, the heart, a snowflake, a bunny, and a sun so I can switch it out for the different seasons... at some point I will make fall and Christmas ones 4y
