National Craft Month

March is National Craft Month, a month-long celebration created in 1994 by the Craft & Hobby Association to promote the joy, creativity, and mental health benefits of making handmade items. It encourages beginners and experts alike to learn new skills, such as sewing, painting, knitting, or scrapbooking.
