Sharing Folk Crafts Writers can bring in examples of popular home arts and crafts that family and friends enjoy such as wind spinners made from aluminum cans or clothing made for concrete geese. Others can find craft fads from earlier decades such as crocheted poodle covers for toilet paper rolls or macramĂŠ plant hangers. These folkways further define folk culture and provide an interesting way to create art with limited resources, recycled materials, or in unexpected ways.
