I have some tips and tricks for you today on things to keep in mind when you’re starting a new craft project. I love crafting. But, maybe you’re new to crafting or like me, when I try out a new type of craft. There are some things that can help make it easier for you.
The first thing that you want to think about when you start a craft project is what inspires you. What motivates you? Are you attracted to seasonal crafts? Do you like home decor? Do you like sewing or painting? You get the idea. Finding what it is that really inspires you helps motivate you to try it. But, you want to start simple. You don’t want to invest in a lot of supplies if it turns out that craft isn’t for you. It also keeps it budget-friendly.
For example, you decided you are going to start crocheting. Don’t buy a lot of yarn. Start out with the basics.
If you start making paper crafts like cards, you can purchase pre-made “colored” and folded cards and envelopes.
Next, you want to make sure to fit your crafts into something that you have at home, something that fits your style and current home decor.
Dollar stores are a treasure chest of craft supplies. You can find all kinds of things to use - bottles, vases, jars, baskets. Look at the items not for what they are but what they could become.
Lastly, it’s a good idea to keep some basic craft supplies around.
You don't have to go wild. But keeping around items that you can use for different projects.
