It’s June, and we are more than ready for summer! Father’s Day is just around the corner, so those working on a handmade gift have a few more weeks to gather inspiration. We’re also excited by the kids crafts tutorial to keep young ones occupied during those lazy summer months!
But let’s not forget about some crafting that’s just for you. Enjoy this week’s Fresh Picks!
