Craft & Hobby Association Celebrates 31 Days of Crafting For National Craft Month
Elmwood Park, NJ (PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- Running the entire month of March, National Craft Month was started in 1994 as a way for individuals to participate in hands-on activities, try a new skill and discover the benefits of creativity. National Craft Month has grown into an international celebration of inspiration, innovation and creativity with millions of participants underscoring the familiar and near-universal experience of making.
During National Craft Month creative businesses across the country offer product discounts, special classes, demonstrations, as well as tips and projects to help people unleash and cultivate their creative abilities.
In celebration of National Craft Month 2016, CHA will be featuring CHA members during a 31 Days of Crafting promotion.

“National Craft Month is a great time for everyone to celebrate creativity and the tremendous benefits of crafting,” said Mark Hill, President & CEO, Craft & Hobby Association. “This year is no exception. We are excited to showcase how our industry celebrates and we encourage everyone to join us and express yourself.”
For the 62.5 million people in the U.S. who participate in crafting activities, National Craft Month is the perfect opportunity to rediscover all that crafting has to offer. Whether you create to reduce stress, build self-esteem, or for the sheer satisfaction of creating – making something provides benefits beyond the finished project.
