YouCanMakeThis.com

I have a lot of friends who are very talented when it comes to crafts--beading, scrapbooking, painting, sewing...you name it, they can do it.

But not me. I'm not creative or crafty at all. However, thanks to YouCanMakeThis.com, I'll be able to complete some cute craft projects with their easy-to-follow eBooks!

According to the website, "YouCanMakeThis.com was created by a stay-at-home mom who wanted to provide a place where women could learn how to make items for their homes and families. The site is unique because the eBooks and patterns are written by 'everyday' women. The step-by-step format of the eBooks enables even the most craft-challenged person to experience the satisfaction of creating something beautiful."

YouCanMakeThis.com offers eBooks on a variety of projects, including photography, baking, painting, and so much more!

For a sampling of the eBooks offered on YouCanMakeThis.com, you can sign up for their
free newsletter and once you confirm your subscription and create your account, you can download all the eBooks for the products you see below, as well as have access to an online video and digital scrapbooking frames.


I signed up myself to see just how comfortable a non-crafty person would be in following the eBooks. I thought the Debut Purse was just adorable, but could I really make it?

Well, I haven’t tried making it yet, but after going through the eBook, I’m confident that I WILL be able to make it. The eBook details exactly what materials you’ll need, and it goes step-by-step through very thorough instructions and includes many helpful photos so you’ll know exactly how the different parts of your project should look.

I can’t wait to get my materials and make the Debut Purse. My friends will be shocked once they see what I can make!

Shop: You can purchase eBooks on YouCanMakeThis.com and create something special of your very own!


Win: YouCanMakeThis.com is generously sponsoring a giveaway so that one lucky winner will win a $50 bundle of ebooks, which includes: Child/Adult Apron Set, Women's Reversible Wrap Skirt, The "She Loves Me, She Loves Me KNOT" Handbag, The Reversible Patchwork Bucket Hat, Easy-Fit Pants, and Boy's Ties.
