Often, we’ll suggest child-friendly crafting projects. But crafting can also be a great adult activity – something that offers a rare bit of “me” time. If you’re planning to make it a new hobby, why not set up a crafting corner in your home?
First, establish how much space you’ll need and where in the house to put it. Some people prefer to make this area off-limits to their family, while others adopt more of an open-door policy. There’s no right or wrong approach.
Once you’ve identified a space, clear out the clutter. Next, you’ll need an actual workspace, so it’s time to invest in a good-sized table – anything from an affordable piece from Ikea to something pricier from an antique shop.
After that, organise your space. Because crafting can require quite a few materials, consider incorporating shelves, drawers, containers or any other storage pieces that will help keep your craft supplies in order.
Finally, set up a whiteboard or pinboard to keep track of your projects, what supplies are running low and new techniques and ideas you’ve learnt along the way or hope to work on in the future.
