Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Traveling a lot this summer? Don’t let your crafting get left behind while you traverse the country for all the great craft shows and music shows and family events that will be happening this summer! Simply make up a mobile studio using a gorgeous vintage suitcase, following the instructions from Bitter Betty Blogs, and your crafting will be as travel-friendly as your plans!
