Hello dear community Hive account@hivediy, today I will tell you a little about mine. For a long time I have liked crafts, I am passionate about making things to decorate my home, being able to recycle and take advantage of all that remains of my work, what is left over from my children's activities, in order to take advantage of every bit of paper, cardboard, cardboard, plastic that can be used to make something beautiful.

My passion for crafts began, when my daughter at school was asked to make a costume with recycling material for the carnival celebration, it was there that I discovered my talent to make things with my hands, my ability to create beautiful works, it took me a whole week making my daughter's outfit, I did it with magazines, white glue, suede fabric, wire, eva rubber and crepe paper for the feathers she would carry on her back; the truth is I was very happy with the final result, she looked beautiful, and I love being able to share with you this photo from a few years ago.

When I joined this beautiful steemit platform, I resumed my passion for crafts, so in each post I have tried to give my best and I have done beautiful work for you, lately I have focused on the art of filigree, I confess that I am in love with this beautiful technique, I love doing it because with only cardboard strips I can make wonderful things, little by little I will show you my progress.

Today I want to show you a tutorial of a beautiful doll with this technique and where I used recycling materials and others that are really very cheap, I really like how it turned out and I already have a space in my house for this beautiful doll.
