Who wouldn't be captivated by beautiful letters and clean brush strokes? Even before the rise in popularity of calligraphy as a hobby, calligrapher Fozzy Castro-Dayrit has been doing pieces and conducting workshops, too.

You've seen us create our own macramé planters and we're sure you're curious as to how you can craft one, too!

The artist's account is teeming with items you'd love to take home.

5. @habilcrafts

The IG profile says it all—hábil is taken from the Latin word habilis which pertains to skills and abilities. The pieces by Habil Crafts all showcase the remarkable skills of its owner, Marvz Conti and the crafters he works with. From moss art to terrabulbs (terrariums in bulbs) and frames made of reclaimed wood—each is proudly made by hand.

6. @cutthescrap

Fancy a sturdy pen holder or tray? How about a piece that would complete a rustic centerpiece? Cut the Scrap offers handcrafted items made using scrap wood. They also turn other junk materials into pretty accessories. The best part? Most of Cut the Scrap's artisants are persons with disabilities so you get to help them as well each time you purchase an item. Aside from the trays, you may also want to check out the vinyl and plant crates.
