Posted on Aug 19 2019 - 6:07am by Charlie

Whether you are an at-home mom looking for a way to be productive or someone busy looking for a relaxing activity, you should try DIY crafts, including those we’ll briefly mention in the rest of this post. You don’t need to be uber creative to do these tasks. You can even ask your kids to join the fun!

  1. Calendar

If you want the perfect tabletop décor in your home office, foyer, or even in the living room, a DIY calendar is a good idea. One of the easiest things to do is to stick Post-It notes on the wall, one color for each day of the month. Arrange them in a rectangle and put a big number on the side of each note to indicate the date.

For those who find it too difficult to create a calendar on their own, Shutterfly can help make things easier!

  1. Candle

Homemade candles are easy to make, although, it might sound like an intimidating task. You need wax, wick, container, color, fragrance, and pot. Start by melting the wax on the pot. After melting, transfer it in a container or a mold with a wick. Let it dry. Choose fragrances that you find relaxing so that the candle can make your home soothing.

  1. Canvas Prints

There are endless ideas on what you can print on canvas. It can be a family photo from a recent vacation, an inspirational quote, or a monogram. You can also use canvas prints in several ways, such as wall décor, tote bag, or even pillowcase. If you are looking for inspirations for a beautiful canvas print, make sure to check out Shutterfly.

  1. Terrarium

This is one of the best ways to bring elements of nature indoors. Do not resort into a traditional houseplant when you can easily make a terrarium on your own. Check out this list compiled by BuzzFeed for ideas and tutorials. You will need a glass jar or large transparent container to house everything you wish to have in your terrarium. Fill it with various materials, including rocks, sand, potting soil, charcoal, and succulents.

  1. Coaster

If you want to start small with a DIY craft, making coasters is a good idea. It adds a hint of style on your tables while also being a functional piece. Wood, birch, cork, and beads are some of the best materials you can use.

  1. Rug

For moms who are looking for easy DIY crafts, a rug is one idea that is easy to pull off. You can use recycled t-shirts for this project. Use shirts with bright colors if you want to bring in vibrant energy to the room. On the other hand, use black or gray if you want it to be subtle.

Make the most out of your free time by venturing into arts and crafts. Consider the DIY projects we have listed above. Even without the hands of an artist, you can easily do these, and you can even involve your kids!
