You can search Folksy for items by type, including handmade supplies, and of particular interest – recycled! You can also search by materials and technique. Folksy also has a small campaign that brings you right to the bags page, stating that plastic bags are out and totes are in. For sellers, setting up a shop looks to be a pretty straight forward and simple process. It is only open to UK sellers, but plans to open up to international sellers is in the works. There is also a great section on making. Here sellers showcase how they make their items and gives you a chance to learn a new technique or craft! These how-to guides will be coming out in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned. You can read more about Folksy and creator, James Boardwell over at O’Reilly.
