]]>If you’re keen to take up a new hobby, find ways to try it out for free to see if it’s a good fit first. Find free community fitness classes, borrow equipment from a library or colleague, or do a skill-swap with a friend.
Find things you already have lying around the house before splashing out on new equipment. If you want to take up yoga, wear an old t-shirt and leggings and do YouTube led yoga sessions before heading out to Lululemon and buying a studio membership.
If you want to take up drawing or painting, use your kids’ art materials before investing in expensive new paints.
Once you have proven to yourself that you have committed yourself to your new hobby, it’s time to treat yourself to the materials you need to really get stuck in. However, be sure to research first what you really need, how to get the best deals, and whether you can get it second-hand. Maybe you can find a yoga mat on Facebook Marketplace, or a set of skis at a yard sale.

]]>You know those days when you feel so tense because of the stress of the day? Well, what if you could just pick up your ball of yarn and hook and crochet the stress away. We guarantee it will reduce your stress levels as you focus more on the pattern and less on your worries.
If you’re looking for a new skill to express your creative energy, crocheting might just be the thing for you! You can do so much with a crochet hook—you can make scarves, blankets, book covers, bags—the options are endless.
There’s very little that compares to the feeling of displaying your own creations in your home, so why not pick up a hobby that is meant to be used or seen in everyday life! From clothes to bags to headbands, we bet you won’t be able to hide the fact that you crochet if you stick with it!

]]>You don’t need anything fancy to get your craft on! Paints, coloring pencils, felt tips and pastels, colored paper, wool, felt, sequins, beads—whatever you can get your hands on or that you have lying around. Raiding your kids’ art supplies is also never a bad idea!
Pick a project or a theme as a blank piece of paper can be intimidating to even the most seasoned of artists. Check out Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok for easy craft and design project ideas or take votes on what the theme should be. You could even just explore colors and shapes.
A crafternoon should be all about having fun. The conversation flows when your hands are busy and working on a creative task can be fantastic for de-stressing. Don’t worry about the outcomes, just focus on the experience and enjoy!

]]>With the influx of brands to choose from, ever-changing fashion trends, and the increase in sustainability awareness, it’s a good idea to learn how to sew your own clothing items. The best thing about learning to sew and create your own clothes is that you can do it for a fraction of the price you would pay at shops, online stores, or thrift stores.
To make it even better, every time you create clothing items, you create something specifically for your body. No more comparing how the dress fits compared to a friend or Instagram model. Instead, everything you create is made by you for you, which is an even better feeling.
Sure, you can draw inspiration from fashion shows and what you see on the racks in Zara. But you can add a touch of you to each piece, making them one of a kind. No more meeting up with friends wearing the same outfit or the same dress at a formal event. You will step out knowing no one else will be wearing what you have on.

]]>One of the best things about making jewelry is that it isn’t only a fun, creative activity that gives you an opportunity to express yourself, but you also get to create something that you can either wear or give as a meaningful, handmade gift to somebody else. Ever wished you could have a specific piece of jewelry that doesn’t exist? Go ahead and make it!
Baking was a big quarantine hobby in 2020, but let’s not forget about its younger sister, cooking. Trying out new recipes, challenging yourself with different techniques and cuisines, is not only fun but it’s also delicious.
There are so many reasons why reading is a perfect hobby. It’s easy. It’s affordable. It’s portable. It can be done anywhere. It makes you smarter. And you can do it forever without getting bored.

]]>There are so many incredible things you can crochet once you start practicing this craft. From fashion items to dolls and everything in between, crocheting (or knitting!) can be the escape hobby that you’ll actually enjoy.
Let the artist in you express everything you’re thinking and feeling right now. It doesn’t matter how skilled you are, as long as you find the activity fun and calming.
Those who are used to exercising in fitness centers might feel like there’s nothing they can do right now, but the truth is that there are plenty of available online workouts that you can do at home, including yoga sessions.

]]>Do not start knitting a scarf as one of your first pieces as it takes so long to finish and it will make you give up quickly. Instead, once you have mastered the basics of knitting try making a hat. This is far less time-consuming and your mistakes are less obvious. They are a little more complicated but you will learn as you go.
Don’t choose a project that will take a while to finish, give yourself a deadline to complete your first piece, maybe a birthday coming up or a trip you are taking.
The best place to buy your yarn is at a small local yarn store, where they will be able to help first-time knitters and advise you what to buy.
Buy yarn that is medium weight and read the labels to see what size needles to buy. Bamboo is great for first-timers as it stops the yarn from slipping and there’s less chance to drop the stitches.

]]>We tend to gravitate to things we’re good at, but instead, try something you’re interested in. You don’t have to be amazing at it to truly enjoy it. If you’re having trouble thinking of a hobby to start, think back to what you enjoyed doing as a kid.
Start by putting aside time in your day or during your week for your hobby. If there’s a class available, sign up for it because once you put down a financial investment, keeping to it becomes more real. You’ll also meet people who have similar interests to you which is a great way to make new friends.
Many people have trouble making time for themselves as they view it as selfish. Instead, view your hobby as a time when you can take care of yourself, so you’ll be more available to others.
When you become really good at something, whether it’s writing, singing, or cooking, it’s easy to view it as a means for earning money. A hobby should be something that you love doing and that brings you joy. Removing the pressure of trying to make money is freeing.
