Simply "crafts" will do. Often, the word is used in conjunction with "arts", as "arts and crafts". but only if the work is not done by a professional.

I think "handcrafts" will be received well enough by most English speakers, but "handy work" or "handiwork" generally means "skilled physical labor", like plumbing or carpentry...but only if the work is not done by a professional.
