Top Free Mini Craft Courses

If you haven’t signed up for a full-length course yet, Craftsy’s mini-courses are a perfect way to learn new skills and experience the Craftsy platform first-hand. Options include:

  • Know Your Wool: Do you wonder where your yarn comes from? Learn about different types of wool and the individual characteristics of each.
  • The Hand-Painted Cake: Elevate your cake with freehand painting techniques. Create beautiful and edible works of art with Erin’s tips and tricks.
  • Creative Quilt Backs: Make the back of your quilt just as interesting as the front! Find out everything you need to know to make beautiful quilt backs.
  • Modern Buttercream: Learn to use buttercream like a pro! Discover the tricks and tips to construct and create a beautifully finished buttercream cake.
  • Short Rows: Don’t fall short because you find short rows intimidating! Learn four different techniques to creating short rows, and discover how they can make shaping a knitted garment a snap.

I’ve already taken a full-length knitting course, and think the next 2 free Craftsy mini-courses I’m going to take are:

1.  Short Rows
2. Hand-Painted Cakes

craftsy online craft courses

I just registered at Craftsy.com and signed up for my first online course: Knit Lab: Projects, Patterns & Techniques. I’m so excited to be getting back into knitting!

knit lab online classes

My mom showed me some basics a few years ago, then I borrowed some books and a DVD from the library, and I really got good at making basic scarves but never really progressed to anything more complicated. After a while I ran out of people to make scarves for and set my knitting needles aside. Can’t wait to upgrade my skills and start making some fun gifts for the pets and people in my life! I’m also going to tackle crochet which I’ve never really mastered either!
Online Crochet Class
Craftsy covers all kinds of topics and interesting hobbies and crafts, including Artisan Cheese Making, Product Photography (great for Etsy Shop Owners!), Cake Decorating, Jewelry Making and more! You can register for free and check out a few of the FREE mini craft courses to see how great their set up is, before paying to take the more in-depth courses. Once you pay for a course, you own it forever and can replay all the lessons as many times as you want. And they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, just in case the course doesn’t meet your expectations.

If you’ve already got skills and are looking for projects and patterns, they’ve got those too!

I’m off to watch my first Craftsy lesson on my iPad, but just wanted to take a sec and make sure to share the news and tell you where to go if you want to check it out, too! Visit Crafsty here for more info and to register for free and browse online course descriptions.
