All Things Handmade at Etsy.com

Wednesday May 14, 2008
When you change up your own clothes and jewelry, it's only natural to start taking notice of what other crafters have done. At Etsy.com, you can view the handmade goods of artisans from around the world. Seeing what everyone else is making not only gives you the opportunity to buy handmade. Browsing handmade goods can spark inspiration for your own creations, like these cool arm warmers by Jen Teixeira.

Some would argue that the items found at handmade websites like Etsy.com are overpriced. In a world where shirts can be purchased for $5.00 at your local discount store, is there still a place for handmade goods? Is it worth the price for a unique item made by hand? Tell us what you think at the DIY Fashion Message Board.
