A handicraft, sometimes more as artisanal handicraft
or handmade, is any of a wide variety of types of work

where useful and decorative objects are made
completely by hand or by using only simple tools.
It is a traditional main sector of craft, and applies to a

Most crafts require the development of skill and
the application of patience, but can be learned by
virtually anyone.
