Support our blog with a tip. Here’s why it matters | #LRCrafts - DIY Passion: if you can think it, you can make it

At #LRCrafts, crafting is more than a hobby: it’s a passion we’re excited to share with you.

From string art and lucet to embroidery, woodworking, and beyond, we love exploring diverse techniques and bringing you tutorials, project showcases, and behind-the-scenes insights. We, Locutus and Rici, started this blog to connect with fellow creators and inspire a vibrant crafting community.
