#LRCrafts
https://www.lrcrafts.it/
If you can think it, you can make it!
In our family we share a passion for DIY in all its forms.
You can find our crafts made with all sorts of techniques: from string art to embroidery, from woodworking to cement, from sewing to epoxy resin…Our name #LRCrafts comes from our web nicknames: Locutus & Rici Crafts.
Together we make crafts with several techniques and materials, for decorative purposes or to solve problems, adding functionality where we need it.
On our blog we tell what we do and how, the experiments we come up with, what we learn along the road, we show our projects.
