8 Fun Crafts To Try At Home
Do you love trying your hand at arts and crafts, but have started to run out of ideas and inspiration? Whilst crafts are supposed to go be fun and creative, sometimes you need a little bit of help deciding what it is you're going to create next, especially if you've only been crafting for a couple of months.
With that in that mind, here are 8 craft ideas to try at home:
Make Your Own Greeting Cards
There are always special occasions and birthdays to celebrate, so having a bank of greeting cards you can use whenever something pops up is super handy. Whilst buying greeting cards is probably easier, creating your own cards gives you a chance to give something with a little bit more personalisation. You can create cut-outs, 3D cards or even create designs that you can print. The possibilities are literally endless!
Plus, if you have kids, you can easily get them involved and making their own cards to give to friends and families.
2. Experiment Making Jewellery
Although it may seem difficult, making jewellery is an incredibly fun craft to take up. There are so many different styles of jewellery you can create, reflecting your personalities in everything you wear. Whether you're creating jewellery for you or your friends, you'll have so much fun testing all of the different methods out.
You never know, the more you do it, the higher your chances are of opening your own store selling homemade pieces.
3. Get Creative With Mason Jars
Mason jars are a crafter's best friend, especially if you're a beginner and just getting started.

Whether it's their name, a special date or a word that has significant meaning - they'll absolutely love the thought behind it!
5. Have Fun With 3D Photo Frames

Whether it's a whimsical quote made with Scrabble tiles, a snow globe photo frame or a personalised gift - you'll have so much fun creating these quirky gifts for your friends and family.

One of my favourite drafts to make my own wax melts and candles. As a huge fan of filling the house with gorgeous scents, creating our own melts has just become part of the fun. Using wholesalers for candle supplies, you can get everything you need at an affordable price - including wax moulds, wax, essential oils and fragrances. Once it's arrived you can experiment creating your perfect scents, shapes and designs. If you're feeling creative, you can mix and match fragrances to make your own personalised scent.
7. Create Accessories With Colourful Fabrics
If you love sewing, you may want to consider creating your own accessories with amazing colourful fabrics. There are so many different designs to choose from, that no matter what you create it will be unique and personalised to you.
