As you probably know, we have a ton of craft projects — literally thousands! — on our sister sites like FaveCrafts and AllFreeCrochet. From sewing tutorials to crochet patterns to jewelry making instructions, we have enough craft ideas that even if you tried one every day for the next ten years, you still wouldn’t run out of projects!
While this is super exciting — who wouldn’t want a plethora of amazing free craft tutorials right at their fingertips?! — sometimes it can get a little bit overwhelming. How do you choose which project to try first?
Well, first of all, we’ve tried to help you out by compiling lists of our most popular crafts each month. These are the crafts that readers like you loved the most, so you know they’ve gotta be good.
Here are a couple of our MVCs (aka Most Valuable Crafts), and a couple of our popular craft roundups for you to check out. I hope you like them!

Not to mention the awesome dirt-resistant canvas, which makes this tote great for everyday use.
