Crafts are a Great Hobby
You can do it by yourself or you can do it with your kids, family or friends. Crafting is a good conversation starter. It can help to improve your hand-eye coordination and train your muscle memory.

Paper Craft

Easy to Start
It can help stimulate our minds.  Be related to your current career or something different.

Great for When You Retire
Have you thought of what you want to do when you retire?  It’s really important to do and create something actively when you have spare time. Unwinding with a craft can clear your mind and bring your blood pressure down and reduce negative emotions. You will find yourself feeling happier and freer!

When You Feel Unmotivated
We normally do our best to be cheerful but there are times when we feel down and unmotivated.  Why not just spend a few minutes crafting and see what you create. 
 
PUT THE PHONE DOWN & CRAFT!

Relaxing
It’s therapeutic and relaxing to create.  You can be lost in your craft and enjoy your Sunday. With busy and hectic schedules, it can be difficult for us to find time for ourselves. Allow yourself to step away from the chaos and do what makes you happy!
