If the comment box is not below, scroll to the top and click “replies”.
I don’t look for creative inspiration. I let it find me.
That’s an easy one. I go to one of so many craft-inspiration websites, such as Instructables or the Craft Trends section of the Think Crafts website, or I go to a crafts supply store.
I like looking through old quilting/crafting magazines I have stored up over the years.
I look to Pinterest or fellow bloggers or other crafty websites.
Pinterest is my favorite way finding inspiration
Sometimes I ask a friend, sometimes I’ll look through Pinterest, and sometimes I just start crafting and hope my fingers will figure it out.
Pinterest and Craft Gawker are go-to sites for multitudes of inspiration . . .
When I’m in need of inspiration, I haul 40 craft books home from the library!
I move on to another project that I know what I want to do to create it.
Pinterest is a great source for inspiration, though some days I wake up wanting to learn and try something new of my own inspiration!
I still have old books & magazines I’ll look through. I also will look to Pinterest & quilting/craft blogs.
I look on Youtube for crafts projects. Looks for wedding projects right now.
For new inspiration I like to search Facebook, YouTube and the internet.
Pinterest!! That then usually leads me to blogs and youtube videos. So much inspiration out there!
I check the Think Crafts blog of course! And then I meander around on YT and Pinterist. Sturmble Upon is also a great place for me to get ideas and enthusiasm for crafts.
On my computer, I have collected You Tube videos, tutorials, and photos from all over the internet. So I peruse those files for inspiration. I also have books…art, crafting, and quilting books that I like to go to for my next project.
While on the road, in some ones house or yard, or in stores my brain is always logging in this years creative ideas. I usually start thinking in terms of a holiday. I start with holiday piece make objects that I bought for a song (bargain) last season. I hold the object up and say what can I do with this. My brain memory bank kicks in and the rest is history.
I look at craft books I have. Of course Pentrest. Now I’ll come here since I was just emailed this link. Love this site also.
I like to go on Pinterest.
Pinterest and you-tube videos!
‘When I need creative inspiration, I go to my library of craft books and look at the inspiration gallery I have collected or will do random searches on the internet with whatever I most want to play with at the time, and will find all types of ideas for what to make!
I check pinterest and/or take a trip to the craft store…sometimes it just takes seeing the perfect crafting item! Thank you for the chance to win!
Inspiration comes from all over, sometimes from the paper recycling 🙂
I go to my pinterest pins and gain all kinds of ideas. I’m always inspired by Think Crafts also.
I go to Pinterest, craft stores and or my Grandchildren for inspiration.
I usually don’t have a shortage of creative inspiration. I have so many things to try and do. But I do bounce ideas off of friends to see what they think of my project-to-be.
I usually look through sketches or projects online to get inspiration!
To get my creative juices flowing, I like to peek around Pinterest for ideas! There are so many talented people out there!
This prize looks awesome! Great tool!
I look in Pinterest and on my favorite blogs for inspiration!
I love to look on Pinterest, blogs and craft stores for inspiration!
I go through my fabrics or find nature pics on the computer.
When I need inspiration I go and look for ideas on craft websites, pinterest or sometimes just looking at my craft stash will spark my creativity.
I’m addicted to YouTube, just ask my husband. I also love to look at different craft sites to see what new products are out there and to find some oldies but goodies products that I haven’t seen before. When it’s nice outside I like to go to craft fairs because I see so many new ways to utilize products in very crafty new ways.
I look for creative inspiration on Pinterest or outside.
For inspiration I go to Pinterest, look through my favorite craft mags and blogs, and look through my sketch/notebooks where I keep interesting ideas.
I google images of whatever word (s) I think described what design i am wanting to create. Or I browse Black & white pictures on Pinterest so I don’t get distracted by colors and can focus on elements.
I find some of my best inspirations looking through home decor stores or catalogs, and thinking no way would I pay the price for that when I think I can make it myself.
I belong to a few creative groups and we share ideas to help inspire each other and I look on Pinterest and YouTube.
When I need creative inspiration I usually surf the internet or Pinterest! There are a ton of ideas out there!
I look on Pinterest or Google images to get ideas usually. Crafts sites are nice too but not as many ideas.
I keep finding so many ideas that my problem is making some of them. So many great ideas on the web.
I wander the blogs and facebook to see what other people are making.
A nice cup of tea, a quiet room (except for a big dog snoring nearby), and time.
When I’m stuck, I walk away from the project for about an hour. When I come back typically I’m refreshed and new ideas come into play.
For inspiration, I look to many sources! Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, TV, magazines…almost any store, since they drag out seasonal & holiday stuff so early these days! Plus, my kids are great inspiration! – Even going outside! Nature is my favorite inspiration!
