This is the place for people looking for more creativity in their days to promote a peaceful and happy life
Hi, I’m Alicia—the hands, heart, and human behind Alicia the Crafter.
I believe crafting is more than making something beautiful with your hands—it’s a way to slow down, come back into your body, and reconnect with what really matters. My work lives at the intersection of creativity, mindfulness, and everyday magic.
I’m a lifelong maker and former acupuncturist who found that many of the same principles I loved in healing—balance, presence, rhythm, and intention—also live in craft. Whether I’m weaving a basket, designing a kit, or teaching a class, my goal is always the same: to help you feel calmer, more capable, and more at home with yourself.
Here you’ll find thoughtfully designed craft kits, tutorials, and offerings that invite you to unplug, trust your hands, and create at your own pace. I’m especially drawn to traditional and tactile crafts—like basket weaving—that encourage patience, presence, and a little soul work along the way.
This space is for beginners and seasoned makers alike. You don’t need to be “artistic” or perfect—just curious and willing to show up. My hope is that what you make here isn’t just an object, but a moment of peace you can carry with you.
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Let's do this thing together
In 2020 (yeah that crazy wild year).... with the chaos outside, my only option left was to turn inward. I bet you can say the same.
That's when I started crafting more and, just for fun, developed a method for coil basket weaving. But what happened next transformed me!
I started asking myself, "is this all there is to life?"
While I was crafting I began listening to more inspirational teachers and started implementing their teachings into my life, while also manifesting more of what I wanted.
Doors started closing and new doors started opening. I began growing more everyday and living out more of my passions.
What I teach today is a compilation of everything I've learned along the way, from my past career in health and wellness and my love of crafting, to my obsessions with spirituality and living a balanced lifestyle.
Creating is simply what I love doing. Whether it's creating a beautiful craft to a beautiful day.
If this sounds like something you want, then you've come to the right place!
