Hello community!
Itâs Tuesday again, so letâs chat about something fun today.
Sometimes we see members mention a crafter theyâve been watching recently.
Some teach useful tricks, some make cozy project videos, some review new machines in a really clear way, and some simply make you want to grab your tools and start creating.
So I thought it could be fun for everyone to share the crafters theyâre currently following.
Maybe weâll all discover new makers and find even more interesting content to enjoy.
And honestly⌠if your own projects are adorable, feel free to recommend yourself too lol.
So Iâm curious: Whoâs your favorite crafter or maker to follow online? Where do you usually find them â YouTube, TikTok, IG? And if you want to recommend yourself⌠go for it lol.
Drop your picks below.
Weâll randomly choose 3 replies to receive 100 Cheers this week.
So I have watched a multiple people if I am looking for something I find videos but I will watch 2-3 on the same topic I donât put all my support to one crafter I used to watch a lot of melody lane before she passed away I likes her energy and love of making things. I the crafting cottage I think itâs called has some nice videos Jennifer maker has some too. I may have more of the unpopular opinion when it comes to videos but I donât like when I feel like I am watching a ad I want opticians and hands on comparisons if watching about a machine. Looking for fun ideas and trying things itâs more so doom scrolling come across someone. I look up more from an idea then whoâs sharing it like glass sublimation and watch different videos and see what may work good for me from it.
Not sure if that answers it properly I am just not a person that jumps to look things up I like trying on my own with basic information if temps and times and go from their I guess.
Iâm also not a fan of ads like @Judi_B so I rarely watch YT vids since Iâm also cheap and donât want to spend on YT premium
I only watch crafting vids if I need to. Sometines I prefer to read than watch vids and pause especially with tutorials
Yes I am all for a tutorial I am the person that watches it to the end then goes back watching and pausing the ladt big one I did that with was for learning procreate watched on phone so I caulked do with on iPad along with video to make tumbler templates now I just duplicate and make new sizes for other cup sizes if I need them.
At different points in my journey, I have watched various crafters, mainly on YouTube.
I enjoy Delonda with Crafting With Delonda. Sheâs a former teacher, and her teaching style reflects it. She teaches a lot of crafts, from cutting machines to DTF.
Eve with The Babyâs Booty also teaches a variety of crafts. A big focus of hers is rhinestones and cutting machines.
Coretta Dangerfield is another creator I like because sheâs direct and to the point. I learn a lot from her, and her videos arenât very long. She teaches designing, techniques, and other crafts.
Katrina Bacon with Katrinaâs Graceful Creations was one of the first creators I watched when I started out. She teaches Canva, cutting machines, business and branding, DTF, and more.
Connie Blackstone teaches Cricut, techniques, and other crafts. Her videos are to the point but very helpful.
These are a few of the ones I watch the most.
I have found a few new crafters to follow since joining this community.
My all time favorite crafter to watch goes by the name dinosaurmamasvg, sheâs got a lot of tips and tricks but I found her while learning about my cricut and she had a 30day crash course to get started which helped me massively so thatâs why I have such a special place for her content. She also shares free svgs she finds from several website which compiles it all in once place so sheâs the best. She can be found on Facebook and instagram idk about YouTube
Before I started crafting on my own YouTube channel, and before I got my Loklik cutting machine, I would watch Makers Gonna Learn and Jennifer Maker. Watching them really got me interested in cutting machines and vinyl projects, as I was painting and drawing and wanted to bring vinyl into my art and make stickers out of my drawings. But since Iâve been working on my own channel, I donât have as much time to watch what theyâre doing. But, if you want to follow me and my makes, hereâs the link to my channel. I would love to have you join me in my YouTube community. I donât have ads, nor do I try to sell anything. I just share reviews on products I use, tutorials, and you can watch me either fail or succeed at making the things I make.
Iâd love to share a few amazing creators who have really inspired me:
Neecka the Teacher (Bouijee Family) â Sheâs a powerhouse in the crafting community. I first discovered her on Facebook, and being part of her group has been eyeâopening. Neecka holds us accountable, pushes us to grow, and shows countless ways to build income streams and scale a business. What makes her stand out even more is that she actually helped design the new tumbler heat press 2 â proving sheâs not just teaching but actively shaping the tools we all use. Her style can be very direct, and while some may find her choice of words strong, that authenticity is part of who she is. Sheâs real, impactful, and dedicated to helping makers succeed. She has also reviewed HTVRONT equipment, adding practical insights that help crafters make informed choices. Highly recommend following her!

Jennifer Makerâ Sheâs incredibly inspiring! Even though her main focus is on a competitor, the lessons she teaches, her reviews, and the way she breaks things down are so valuable. She has also reviewed HTVRONT equipment, which makes her content even more relevant for our community. I highly recommend following her for both inspiration and insight.

M. LaShea & Co â Specializing in digital designs and wholesale crafting supplies, sheâs a powerhouse resource. She reviews HTVRONT equipment, teaches how to turn $1 store finds into amazing gifts, and even offers sample packs to help crafters experiment. Definitely worth following!

Bellethehowtoguru â She was the very first person in this group who offered me real help, and that meant a lot. Her guidance was practical and encouraging, and I started following her YouTube page because of it. She continues to share tutorials and tips that make crafting approachable and fun. She has also reviewed HTVRONT equipment, which adds another layer of value to her content. A wonderful resource for anyone looking to learn and grow.
@ajuniquecreations sheâs actually already been working with HTVRONT BUT IVE BEEN WATCHING HER SINCE BEFORE SHE GOT BIG, back when she was only
Making bonnets and now I see her content everywhere, Iâve seen her review a few things recently for HTVRONT.
She was an inspiration on reaching out for the ambassadors deal because I really wanted to be a reviewer I just didnât know it would be so hard. Itâs like a lottery out here. But anyways I love AJâs content.
I feel truly blessed to be on your list @Katrina_Moore and Iâm so happy my videos help and inspire you. Thank you so much for your support
I really donât have much time to watch YouTube creators anymore. But if I have a pile of laundry to fold I sit in front of the TV with the pile and watch Bethadilly or Making with Marilyn. They both do inspirational videos, tutorial videos and unboxings. They have great relaxing vibes and I stive to follow their style with my videos.
I also watch Delonda and everyone else that you recommended I started following thanks so much I am about to start resignâŚI see you love working with RhinestoneâŚ
Oh, yeah, I used to watch Bethadilly, too! I forgot about her. Iâve also learned some things from your channel, recently. When Iâm finished with my H10 review and the Merry Makes event, I plan to sit down and watch some more of your videos.
My Maker sat under a towel for 2-1/2 years because it intimated me. In December of 2023, I spent my nights joining Jennifer Makerâs mingle events, trying to get an idea of what I needed to do. We have about 10 days off over the holidays and my goal was to master it by the time I had to go back to work and I did it! She has such a calming way of explaining things to ward off that frustration. I also just like watching videos of different things - paint pouring on canvas and using a hair dryer to spread it is something I would like to try but itâs one of those âwhat the heck am I going to do with a bunch of theseâ when I do them that makes me hesitate.
Whoâs your favorite crafter or maker to follow online?
Where do you usually find them â YouTube, TikTok, IG?
And if you want to recommend yourself⌠go for it lol.
