Handicrafts commonly referred to as handmade crafts or artisan. In this process, skilled people create different types of items from goods and convert them into decorative pieces out of paper, clay, wood, rock, stone, and many more using simple and cheap tools. These types of items produced are known as handicrafts as they are prepared solely by hands, and do not involve the use of any machinery. India is one of the major exporter and supplier of handicrafts and gift products to the world market.
