How To Pack A Creativity Travel Bag For Art And Jewelry Making
This week on Free Spirit Beading with Kristen Fagan, I shared what beading and art supplies I bring while traveling. Can I travel on a plane with jewelry making tools and supplies? Absolutely! Traveling with my art and beading supplies is a must! Since being creative is my all time favorite thing to do, it makes sense to bring that with me when I travel. What kinds of painting supplies make sense for carry on luggage? How do I know what to pack that will be inspiring? Well, since I'm currently traveling I thought it would be fun to share what I brought with me in my carry-on backpack and why I choose to bring what I did..
