Crouton Creations

I’m sure many of you are aware crafting alone is not enough to satisfy our addictions.  We want to know what other people are crafting and talk with crafty people about crafting.  The lucky ones have friends and co-worker they can talk with, while others may unknowingly be driving their un-crafty love ones insane.  If you’re of the later or you’re looking for more places to talk about crafting, maybe I can recommend a Craft Forum?

For many of you these will already be places you are aware of but I still wanted to write about them anyways since I do seem to continue to run into people that are unaware of such communities.

Here are the forums I enjoy going on:

• http://www.craftster.org/
  • Craftster is hands down my favorite crafting community.  I have NEVER read mean comments in all the years I’ve been posting/lurking on the forums.  The craft variety is also amazing, if a craft exists they probably have some forum for you to post on.  The crafters will come up with some very amazing ideas using just normal stuff that might of been tossed otherwise.
• http://www.craftforum.com/
  • Another very nice community.  This one I have only lurked at but everyone seems to always be very nice and helpful. They also have many boards of different types of crafts.
• http://www.instructables.com/
  • Very fun website, I don’t know if I would consider everything “crafty” but it’s definitely inventive and creative.  They have a paid version which offers less advertising, downloaded ebooks or PDF’s of projects but the free account still offers a lot.

As I check out more forums I’ll update this list but these are the ones I will normally checkout.
