Get Your Craft On: 3 Free Craft Books to Get Now

The popularity of crafts is a constant. Crafting hobbies may wane with changing times, but people always seem to make their way back to handcrafted items.

Most traditional crafts like knitting, sewing, woodworking, and crocheting are increasing in popularity. Even corporate business types like my husband have become interested in sustainable living, gardening, and other do-it-yourself projects.

Young People Like Handcrafting

My youngest daughter has mastered those three and makes amazing clothing and decorative items for the home. Since she's an artist who creates her own designs, she has certainly surpassed me in skills. She's also inspired me to jump back into hobbies, like sewing, that I once enjoyed.

With that thought in mind, I grabbed some free books over the holidays. You may think the books below are aimed at women, but let me assure you many men are also taking on knitting and sewing. (I remember when I was a kid, the rough, tough football pro Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier was "outed" for his cross stitch hobby. Did the gibes bother him? I don't think so. He laughed along with the critics.)

As of today, these books are still free so I wanted to recommend them to you.

Remember My Free Craft Book

I want to remind you of the free book that's still in the Top 100 Decorating Books. I compiled Holiday Decorating as a companion book to the Christmas on Main Street Romance Collection.

Each of the authors in the Christmas Box Set contributed a favorite craft or holiday decorating idea to the book. You can even watch the YouTube video I created to show you what the craft book is about.

If you haven't downloaded Holiday Decorating, free to all, get it now. It's available at Amazon Kindle * iTunes * Kobo * Nook

Takeaway Truth

Many readers now avoid free or low-priced books now. That's silly. If a book is free, grab it. Take a few minutes to read a bit. You'll quickly know whether you want to keep the book or not. If you don't want to keep it, just delete it. If you like it, please post a review. The author will greatly appreciate it.
