The biggest issue for crafters is finding the time. If you’re crafty, odds are you’re resourceful enough to plan your projects on a budget, so money isn’t a huge obstacle. Finding the time, on the other hand, isn’t as easy a fix. When you’re juggling work, family, and friends, it can be hard to carve out some time for your crafty corner.
It’s important to take time for crafting (if that’s what you’re into) because it can be such a great form of stress release. Expressing yourself puts you in a good frame of mind to get all that important stuff done. If you’re having trouble making time for crafting, here’s another way of looking at it.
Taking the philosophy “something is better than nothing” will work wonders. If you set high expectation – say, spending a whole evening or a few hours crafting – you’re setting yourself up for failure. Odds are, after making dinner and putting the kids to bed, you’ll think “There’s not enough time tonight.” But if you spend just 10 minutes crafting, you’ll feel great about it!
To make it easier to make some “you” time, we collected quick crafts you can finish in 10 minutes or less. These projects will help you unwind, and they’re totally doable. Give yourself some crafty time tonight and let your creative energy out! As a double whammy, many of these will help you get started on holiday gifts and decorations.
