What does your craft space look like?
When I am at the lake house, my craft room is very quaint and organized however, my craft room at home is a hot mess because a) it's in my dining room and I have to set up each time I make something b) it also serves as my YouTube studio for all my crazy how-tos.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
OMG, Hot glue for just about everything! Second to that would be spray paint... I jokingly tell people after they see my shelf of spray paint, I have a hole in the O-zone layer above my house!
What do you craft along to?
I listen to my favorite author and speaker Abraham Hicks (Ester Hicks) I'll listen over and over to Abraham Hicks playlists on YouTube! Motivates me so!

Favorite Craft
Ooh... that's hard one! I love making Halloween Crafts because that's the only holiday and craft genre that I can get away with being a little on crazy creative side without getting too tacky.
Barry's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I would like to learn how make metal sculptures build a copper water fountain of some kind.
Who are your crafting heroes?
Martha Stewart: (because I want to be the male version of her)
Mark Montano: (Just like Mark, I want to write and publish my own successful craft book and he and I feel he and I think alike)
BarryBelcher's Favorite Projects
Twinkling Branches Room Divider I love christmas lights and always looking for ways to use them for a project year round. Mark and I think a lot a like when it comes to crafts! Floating Book Shelf Old books can get dusty on your shelf, so why not dust them off and make them the shelf itself! Plus this project reminds me of one of my favorite crafts I made called "Barry's Book Garden," where I got to rip up 2 book inside as a flower pot. Rubik's Cube Tissue Box Cover This project is so much fun... I never could figure out how a Rubik's Cube worked because I was more interested in all the cool colors!
And finally...
