New Art and Craft Tutorial Videos 4 times a week!
Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Lindsay Weirich, AKA the Frugal Crafter. My videos showcase a wide variety of crafts such as cardmaking, rubber stamping, art journaling, mixed media, sewing, knitting, jewelry making, crochet altered art and more! I never met a craft I didn't like! Do you like to paint? I hope so because I have many new watercolor painting tutorials and coming soon oil and acrylic painting tutorials!
How about storage? do you want tips and tricks for keeping your art and crafts supplies organized? I have several craft room tours and tutorials on building your own storage solutions on the cheap! If you love creating AND saving money you are at the right place! Happy crafting!

I have been adding to my Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal list: amzn.to/3XZXkWs
I found lots in the papercrafting, bookbinding, and cardmaking tool department. Most of these are generic products, so if there were any basics like cutting mats, storage carts, scoring tools, etc, it's a good time to buy. I also recommend looking at related products, especially if you are not an Amazon Prime member, because many sellers offer the same thing, and you may find a cheaper option as sellers change prices to compete with hot-selling products.
*Sometimes the "deal" is not the best price for a product, so be sure to look for items that don't have the red sticker:)

Important info on Color Cubes!

Amazon Black Friday Deal 2025! Scroll on by if you don’t want to be tempted. Some of these deals are available for only 12 hours or until stock lasts. I know Amazon is running this black Friday sale through December 1st, but it is unclear if items will go in and out of sale mode. If you see any changes or errors in my list please let me know, and if you see any sweet deals (you know, the really good ones), please let me know in the comments. I hope this can help you save some money on your holiday and personal art supply shopping. Affiliate links are used (at no additional cost to you, but they do help my channel). Thank you!

The algorithm served me this video today from @SeeKateSew and I am so glad it did. There are so many darling projects to sew for gifts from scraps. Plus Kate shares printable patterns for all if the projects.
These are handmade gifts people will want that won't break the bank. That's exactly what we need right now. Kudos, Kate! (I do not know this woman, I just think this video is great!)
