# Crafting

Crafting is one of the most exciting activities in My Neighbor Alice, as it is the **key to bringing NFTs to life**: clothes, furniture, working tools, and much more! 

Once you **complete activities** in the Archipelago, you can **be rewarded with blueprints and tickets** containing the secret resources you need to create NFTs. 

What’s the **difference between a blueprint and a ticket?**

Some NFTs can be created with resources you find in-game, but some items may require, among the resources, $ALICE.

$ALICE is My Neighbor Alice's native token. For more information about it, go to $ALICE.
{% endhint %}

NFTs crafted with $ALICE are very peculiar.&#x20;

Indeed, when you craft an NFT requiring $ALICE resources, a part of the $ALICE spent will stay locked in the NFTs. This means that if you want those $ALICE back, you can just decide to burn the item, so destroy that item and get the $ALICE by only paying a small burning fee.&#x20;

The Collateral inside the NFTs can also be staked during some announced staking period, and make you earn extra $ALICE.&#x20;
