When I first think of "crafts" I think of things like knitting and DIY projects on HGTV or Pinterest. For something to be considered art I think it has to have a conceptual meaning behind it; whereas craft are created to look aesthetically pleasing and typically serve a specific purpose. For example, this scarf; it looks pretty and if made by hand would've taken a lot of time and effort but I don't think it anything close to being considered art. Anyone can learn to knit or slap some paint on a canvas but for it to be viewed as art it has to have a concept and a purposeful meaning behind it.
One person knitting for another person, no purpose in that now is there….
