Crafting in a nontoxic AND sustainable way

I love to craft things and have dabbled in dollmaking, water colors, basket weaving, sewing, jewelry making and more. Actually, my addiction to gardening and tending my ponds is an extension of that type of leisure because both those activities involve a lot of creativity and design, too.

Crafting for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity can be tricky because we have reactions to so many art materials and media. But we can enjoy these activities in a chemical-free way by choosing the right products. There are alternative paints and paper, organic fabrics and yarn, wooden buttons and boxes, nontoxic glues and adhesives.

The blog Crafting a Green World is a cornucopia of green crafting ideas that are not only nontoxic, but sustainable as well, taking our personal concerns about synthetic chemicals one step further: what’s good for us is good for the planet.

Crafting a Green World

Crafting a Green World features do-it-yourself projects that incorporate reused, recycled, and natural materials. Find knitting, sewing, crocheting, and other project ideas for eco-friendly and fashionable clothes, crafts, gifts and more.

Green is the new black, as they say, but what in the world does that mean? It means living sustainably is the “cool” thing to do, but some of us have been doing these things for years. Take crafters for example - many of us keep scraps of fabrics from other projects for future use, “frog” old sweaters and scarves to have fresh yarn to work with, and tweak items and patterns we find to make them just right for our tastes.

The renewed popularity of green living has benefits for creative folks, including new sustainable fabrics and innovate ideas for reusing a plethora of resources. For those of us who enjoy being a part of the creative process or are beginning to experiment with do-it-yourself projects, then Crafting a Green World is for you!

We feature everything from eco-patterns, supplies, and creators to book reviews and event/sale notices. Crafting a Green World (CAGW) is your #1 resource for organic, natural, and recycled crafty projects, products, media, and businesses.

Whether you are a novice, a pro, or somewhere in between, Crafting a Green World has the sustainable crafty content you are looking for.
