Helpful hints
If you are spending a lot of time online looking for crafts, the following are some things to keep in mind:
• Bookmark sites you like. If you find a crafting site that has particularly good ideas for winter crafts, or crafts for other seasons you would like to make, make sure to bookmark it. This way, you don’t have to go through all of the pages again to find the site you were looking for.
• Make sure you have an anti-virus installed. Many sites you will visit will probably be made by hobbyists rather than professional organizations. These sites are often made for free, but in fact do come with a price—lots of pop-ups and adware. So make sure you have a good antivirus software in place so your computer isn’t damaged while searching for winter crafts online.
