In addition there is a wide variety of crafts; therefore, we can choose the one that we like the most. The goal is to concentrate on a different activity, so that our mind disconnects from other concerns.
Take note of the following adult crafts that will help you relax:
Coloring Mandalas
Coloring helps us escape and also stimulates our creativity. While we color we focus our thoughts on the drawing and the colors we are going to use. Forgetting all negative thoughts.
We can choose the drawings that we like the most; however, mandalas will also help us to avoid insomnia.
Knit
Knitting is an easy and inexpensive way to distract our mind. It is an activity that requires attention and coordination, so our mind will remain isolated from external problems.
No matter which method we use to knit: crochet, macramé, knitting on two needles, or any other technique. The important thing is to concentrate in the activity. The best of all is that besides relaxing, we will get a garment made by ourselves.
The cross stitch is also a very entertaining craft, in which you can create your own paintings to decorate your home
Making origami
Origami is a Japanese art that consists of making paper figures, without using scissors or glue. This activity is used to improve memory, fight stress and even treat diseases such as arthritis or depression.
While folding the paper we enter in a state of calm, isolation and tranquility, managing to reduce anxiety and stress.
Decorate with felt
Felt or eva rubber; are materials widely used in crafts. They can be found in any stationery and there is a great variety of colors and textures.
With these materials we can make from simple hair ornaments, brooches, cases or bags, to elaborate costumes. We can also create mouse mats, covers for our mobile or decorate cardboard boxes.
With scissors and a little silicone we can create authentic works of art!
Make organic soaps
Making your own soaps can be a fun activity.
There are many ways to do it, but the simplest one is using used oil, water, essential oils (to give it a good smell) and caustic soda.
We can also add glitter or dried flowers to get a more original result.
In addition, making organic soaps will recycle used oil, save money and protect the environment.
