We can all agree that the best thing to do in your spare time is take a nap. But what if you’re not tired. Maybe even after the nap you still have a few hours to fill up on a weekend? You might consider taking up one of the many crafting hobbies that are easy to do right from your home. Here are some ideas to consider:
Papier-Mâché
Remember the fun you had with papier-mâché as kid? There’s no reason why you can’t pick up where you left off with those old newspapers, magazines and glue. Head over to Pinterest to become inspired with all the things you can make with papier-mâché. This is one of those fun projects you can also share with your kids. This is art making at its simplest.
Soap Making
Soap is one of those things we use every day but that doesn’t mean the soap has to be pumped or lacking in fragrant uniqueness. You can make your own soaps. Start with holding onto your old soaps. No bar should be wasted because they can all be melted down and poured into a new bar. As for new soaps, you’ll find there are a lot of recipes you can cook up that not only include hand soap blocks but also scrubs and moisturizers. Once again, head over to a Google search and you’ll be amazed at how easy soap is to make.
Candle Making
Just like your soaps, you can also make candles at home. It’s not just wax that make candles but also fragrant items like dried flowers, cinnamon sticks, slices of dried oranges, kiwis and other fruits. Not only will that make the candle smell awesome, they’ll also add to the decorative looks you can create. And just like the old soap bars, get into the habit of holding onto your old candles. Lots of wax in those bases that can be recycled.
