Your Top Ten Favorite Craft Projects in 2023

I want to thank you all for always liking my craft projects. I love to craft and today I am sharing your top ten favorite craft projects in 2023!

One of my favorite things to do is create items with my hands and I wish I had more time to spend in my new craft room. Now that I am so organized in my new craft room, I am going to try to make at least three new craft projects every month in 2024. Wish me luck!

Your Favorite Top Ten Crafts from 2023

Crafting supplies including paint and brushes.

Ok, this was fun. I went through a year of crafts and DIY posts and identified your top ten favorites. There were a few ties so I got to vote too. I posted all of them below and included the link with all of the DIY instructions.

What do you think of this idea? I am going to try to create a Christmas craft every month in 2024 (for a total of 10!) that I won’t share until October. How great would it be to have ten Christmas crafts ready to share in October? I think it would be fun and exciting.

Is that a crazy idea?

I am very excited to share with you today your favorite top ten craft projects from 2023. And these are in no particular order.
