| 5 Reason to Make Craft Parts of Your Life (tipscrafting.tk) |
If you love making craft projects but don't make it a priority, consider the following five good reasons to make crafts part of your life on a regular basis.
1. Relaxation
Making craft projects is the perfect way to relax and give your mind a rest from everyday worries and responsibilities. Unlike a job, there is no boss expecting a project done in a certain time and a certain way.
Craft projects allow total creative freedom. You decide what to make, what colors to use, how big or small, and whether you want to show it to anybody. There is no deadline and mistakes aren't really mistakes - they're happy changes.
The more you relax into making crafts, the more relaxed you are in the rest of your life. Try it and see.
2. Self fulfillment
The very act of making crafts - choosing color, using craft tools, seeing form come to life - brings a sense of self fulfillment. Creating something where there was nothing is powerful.
A finished craft project is a visual representation of your creativity come to life. No matter the size or scope of your craft project, it's amazingly self fulfilling to accomplish your crafting goal.
3. Friendship
As crafting has grown, groups developed across the country ensuring enthusiastic crafters a place to learn new skills and socialize. While some groups meet locally once a month, others have developed weekend crafting retreats at facilities like bed and breakfasts, and still other groups take entire crafting cruises.
Like quilting bees of yore, a common interest in crafts helps friendships develop. Friends also encourage accountability for making crafts a consistent part of your life.
4. Practicality
Especially when the economy is tight, crafters become even more creative and develop ideas on how to recycle items bound for the trash and reuse everyday objects. Practical craft projects not only fire up those creative juices, but keep stuff out of landfills and encourage responsible consumerism.
5. Fun
Making crafts is just fun. Once your mind is allowed the chance to be creative on a consistent basis, craft projects become more enjoyable, your mind sees more possibilities, and you realize how much fun it is to create something new.
Make crafts a part of your life. You've just discovered five good reasons.
