The Best DIY & Craft Apps

The Best DIY & Craft Apps - u-createcrafts.com
I love apps that make my life a little easier and did you know there are some amazing ones for DIY-ers and crafters?!

Now I didn’t include the super obvious ones like Pinterest, Instagram, etc – they’re a given right?!

Some of these you might have heard of and others might be brand new to you!

Do you have a favorite that we didn’t include? Please share it below!!

 

PROJECT LIFE

Best Apps for Crafters!

This is one of my very favorite apps on this planet. I literally scrapbook on my phone while I’m waiting in a long drive thru line or picking up the kids from school. I even order my 8×8 prints directly from my phone and they are shipped in a few days. Does scrapbooking get easier than this? I think not.

Cost: $2.99

    Hi, While I could not find this app on my Android phone. I did find, swiss army knife. It has good reviews and a short video as to how to use it. I like that it has a MIRROR! so one less thing to carry in my purse. Also, has a ruler, and several other things, including the level. Although, I haven’t used it yet to see how accurate it is. It is a free app.

    Thanks for these app suggestions, I especially love the Stanley App, I am always hanging my kids art in different places and would love the easy assistance. Another app worth mentioning would be the Typic app. My jeweler/photographer recommended for editing iPhone pictures. Works great!
