Fun Crafts and Projects to Do While in Quarantine

Normally, I am not a very crafty person; however, this pandemic has given me plenty of time to explore my artsy side, and it has been a lot of fun! Below I have listed a few ideas for some crafts to fill all that free time that we all have. 

1. Photo Collage

One of the first things I did when I got home was to create two photo collage boards to hang on my wall using pictures I took from college. I miss my friends and experiences from there so much, so it is nice to have a reminder of the memories I have made thus far. 

Things You’ll Need:

• 20+ Pictures

• Canvas, Poster paper, or just your wall!

• Removable Mounting Putty/Tape/Glue. Here’s the link to what I used: https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Brand-860-Removable-Multicolor/dp/B000AN7EW4/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=scotch+removable+putty&qid=1586015683&sr=8-3

How:

Using some creativity, layout your photos on the medium of your choosing. Once satisfied, add some putty, tape, or glue to adhere your photos to the surface. And you’re done!

2. Star Jeans

Even though my days consist of mostly wearing pajamas, who doesn’t love a fashion moment? Here is a fun crafting moment I found on tik tok (I just downloaded it, and it is so addicting). I have always admired fun, patterned jeans, and these are so cute and easy to make!

Things You’ll Need:

• A pair of Jeans

• Bleach

• Spray Bottle

• Star Stencils. Here’s the ones I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FS7QTM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

3. Start a Bullet Journal

I have always admired people who the time and artistic ability to create beautiful bullet journals. Now is the time to start! For those who don’t know, bullet journals are creative diaries/planners/sketchbooks that rely on drawn visuals. If you want to flex those creative muscles, you can decide to take on this exciting project!
