In recent years, craft, in all its forms and expressions has been reintroduced in a large way. There are at least five reasons why crafting is so popular!

Making crafts a part of your life has many benefits for you. Craft projects can be a way to relax, encourage self-fulfillment, friendship, practicality and have fun.

These five great reasons are for crafting to be a part of your daily life if you don’t love craft projects.

1. Relaxation

Craft projects are a great way to unwind and get away from your daily worries and responsibilities. There is no boss that expects you to complete a project in a specific time or manner.

Craft projects offer complete creative freedom. It is up to you to decide what project to make, which colors to use and how big or small it should be. There is no deadline, and mistakes aren’t really mistakes. They’re just happy changes.

You will find yourself more relaxed if you spend more time crafting. You’ll be amazed at the results.

2. Self fulfillment

Making crafts, such as choosing colors, crafting tools, and seeing forms come to life, can bring you a sense self-satisfaction. It is powerful to create something from nothing.

Your finished craft project is an expression of your creativity. It doesn’t matter how large or small your project is, it’s amazingly satisfying to achieve your crafting goals.

3. Friendship

Crafting has become more popular and groups have been formed all over the country to provide crafters with a place where they can learn new skills and meet others. Some groups meet once a month; others organize weekend crafting retreats at bed and breakfasts. Still other groups go on entire crafting cruises.

As with the quilting bees, friendships can develop through shared interests in crafts. Friends encourage you to make crafts a regular part of your daily life.

4. Practicality

Crafters are more creative when there is a tight economy. They come up with innovative ways to reuse and recycle everyday objects and items that were once destined for the dump. Craft projects are a great way to get creative and keep things out of landfills. They also encourage responsible consumption.

5. Fun

Crafts are a lot of fun. When you are allowed to express your creativity on a regular basis, crafting projects will become more fun. Your mind will see more possibilities and it will be easier to make new things.

Crafts should be a part your daily life. These are five great reasons to make crafts a part of your life.
