Arts & Crafts From Barbara Crews, your About Arts & Crafts Editor Sometimes we just need a few quick and easy projects, as long as it doesn't look like it was quick and easy when we give them. All of these have four things in common: they're inexpensive, quick to make up, no special skill level is needed and they all would make great gifts. Since most crafty folks are always looking for new ideas, give these a try and let us know what you think. Pearl and Birthstone Bracelet I belong to a group of old friends who get together for lunch and crafting every week. And of course we like to celebrate birthdays with something special. I've decided these bracelets might be the perfect gift for everyone. Not too difficult, but very special for each recipient.

First a few were made for St. Patrick's Day (as shown here), but then an orange and sparkly black one for Halloween, and not stopping there -- also made some in team colors to wear to the games. Think of different color combos, look through your extra yarns and have fun.
