Made By Humans
I love a good project that can combine crafting, playing and learning all in one, like these learning with Perler beads activities. These shapes made with Perler beads (or fuse beads, or iron beads, as they might also be called) are really easy to make and can be used in all sorts of ways depending […]
Knitting is, basically, my job. This week’s Iron Craft challenge was all about using needles, and I knew I didn’t want to just knit something. So, I cheated. I actually crocheted a couple of things. Crochet uses a hook, not a needle, but I think the point of the challenge was more to get us […]
