Buildermailbox.com is a blog for creative folk. If you have a favorite craft- or want to learn one- you will find, tips, instruction, resources and inspiration.

I come from a family of crafters that goes many generations back. As a child, I was shown the value of perfecting my crafts, and I derived great joy in creating and building things. The crafts I made, and the handmade gifts presented to me from loved ones are cherished and exalted pieces in my home.

Crafting is a great hobby for children of all ages. Even the smallest hands can enjoy the tactile sensations from shaping a lump of clay, and derive a sense of pride and accomplishment. Crafts are good therapy for old and young alike, and can help relieve stress from a demanding, hectic world.

We are adding new article to our blog on a regular basis. If you favorite craft is not represented here, drop us an email and let us know! We’re always looking for new contributors.

Craftily Yours,

Beatrice
