Personally, I love to read crafting ideas and there are a lot of creative people out there who can make some amazing products from the most surprising elements. Therefore, I set out to look for best blogs from bloggers who have relentlessly dedicated themselves to their website and their loyal readers.
Crafting bloggers have a lot more to do than merely coming up with post ideas for their blog. They have to come up with a creative project or idea, execute it perfectly, have decent photography skills and create a post in such a way that their readers understand the entire process. Here are 14 such amazing examples:
Brown Paper Packages
"This is a place to find DIY projects of all kinds--my favorite things! I'm a simple girl, and I believe it's the small and simple touches that make a huge difference. From crafts, to food, to home decor, I hope you enjoy what you see, and that you'll come back to visit often!" -Kierste. (Link)
Centsational Girl - fabulous, for less.
"I’m a bargain hunter, design lover, and incurable DIYer. I’m a mother to three amazing kids, living in Northern California’s Wine Country. I'm a bargain hunter, design lover, and incurable DIYer. I'm on a quest for diamond style on a dime, and I'm out to make my world fabulous, for less, one do-it-yourself project at a time. I’ll show you how to fix up your house with style and on a budget!" - Kate (Link)
Craftastrophe - because handmade isn't always pretty
"Craftastrophe was created by nothing more than a few innocent messenger chats where we shared some creative pounces we came across on Etsy. From then on it was a mirage of craftastrophes which couldn’t very well be kept to ourselves, but had to be shared.
These craftastrophes aren’t necessarily bad crafts, many are well made and have taken the crafter a lot of time and energy to create; this site’s goal is to showcase those crafts that are funny, weird, strange and make us laugh." -Craftastrophe (Link)
Craftzine
"CRAFT is dedicated to the renaissance that's occurring within the world of crafts. Celebrating the DIY spirit, CRAFT's goal is to unite, inspire, inform, and entertain a growing community of highly imaginative and resourceful people who are transforming traditional art and crafts with unconventional, unexpected, and even renegade techniques, materials, and tools; people who undertake amazing crafting projects in their homes and communities." -Craftzine (Link)
Dabbled - experiments in art, craft & food
"Dabbled is the brainchild of Dot, my alter-ego who obsessively creates. She’s a starter of many projects, and finisher of maybe one or two when she feels like it. She loves to design craft projects that can be done with a minimal investment and minimal skill. Probably because she’s notoriously cheap, she likes to create nifty things out of junk… figuring out ways to use interesting materials, like upcycling old sweaters into Elephant Purses or making her own “shrinky dinks” out of #6 plastic. And I have no idea why, but she really has a thing for robots." -Nancy aka Dot (Link)
Geek Crafts
"At Geek Crafts we talk about crafts inspired by all things geek. Video games, television, movies and more are all covered here." - Geek Craft (Link)
How Does She - women sharing ideas
"We are awe struck by all the things amazing women around us do. From balancing a healthy lifestyle, to throwing the perfect party, to implementing creative ideas with family. We always seem to be asking, “How Does She do this, or How Does She do that”? While none of us is perfect, we all seem to be striving to become better.
Better mothers, better wives, better women.
We are so excited about the concept of gathering inspirational women together. We are amazed on a daily basis at all the talent and amazing women we find in our search for ideas." -How Does She (Link)
Mochimochi Land - let's make happy
"Mochimochi Land was launched in 2007 as a place where knitted toys and people can live together in a spirit of tolerance. The toys that inhabit Mochimochi Land are at once cute and strange, and they appeal to adults and children alike. They are all original designs by Anna Hrachovec, a knitter who lives in Brooklyn." -Mochimochi Land (Link)
Pizzazzerie - entertain in style
"With a love of entertaining, Courtney Dial is quickly becoming a well-known stylist and writer in the field of party design and décor. When she's not styling events for magazines, speaking at conferences on branding and design, or appearing on Nashville news broadcasts, she's continuing to grow Pizzazzerie.com into a go-to source for all things entertaining." - Pizzazzerie (Link)

It's our pleasure Laurie, Tip Junkie has always been one of our favorite crafting websites. And you are right, these are some amazing websites by inspiring women. :)
Thanks so much for listing Craftastrophe. It is a labor of love and laughter. I'm happy to say that many of the items we feature get sold quickly!
You are doing a great job with Craftastrophe, we totally loved the products featured there. :) Keep spreading love and laughter.
That is great stuff (the doll things was a little creepy, not going to lie). I always like looking through home decor catalogs to see what I could craft myself.
