As Seen In
Latina style DIY is more than crafts
Latina style DIY is much more than crafts. It’s my Crafty Chica message about creating a custom, artful, uplifting life you love. Using creativity as a way to make your mark on the world and to tell your story. This is what inspired me to start by Crafty Chica blog in 2001. Now, two decades later, I’m still at it because life is always evolving. From the shiny parts to the fails – every experience has a lesson.
I hope you’ll find some Latino crafts to inspire you, a relatable story, and something to share and make your own. Thank you for visiting my corner of the interwebs!
