During the Camp Handmade event, Amazon Handmade will highlight select Makers from around the globe who sell their handcrafted goods on the platform. Each Maker will lead workshops that you can tune into. You can also listen to fireside chats about their small business journey! With each workshop, you can purchase curated DIY kits that allow you to follow along in the virtual workshop, ranging from candle-making kits to flower painting and more. The video tutorials for all the workshops are free – you just have to purchase the necessary supplies underneath the videos.
Since the event just kicked off, I wanted to briefly share some of the crafts that you can take on right now.
