Nothing eases the mind and passes the time like a good DIY. Really! Psychologists claim that creating + crafting has similar effects as mediation. It can ease anxiety and absorb thoughts that may have otherwise gone down a more negative path. (If you’ve ever used all your brainpower to focus on a pattern or a puzzle, you know this is true.)
You’ll certainly find plenty of DIYs on GWS (including this how-to that continues to top the list year after year). Below we’ve compiled a REALLY fun list of craft kits and boxes that come complete with every material you need to make a wall hanging/scrunchie/clay pot/tube of lip balm — the list literally goes on. Perfect for those of us who would love to get crafty during quarantine without the pressure to, say, create the next great American novel.
So, find a new hobby, get those hands moving, and let’s make something!
