How to Choose a Craft

One way to choose which type of craft you want to do is to consider what mood you want to create. Here are some examples.

Relaxing & Meditative: Knitting, crochet, embroidery, watercolor
Creative & Expressive: Painting, sculpting, mixed media
Functional & Practical: Sewing, woodworking, leather crafting
Quick & Satisfying: Paper crafts, candle making, air-dry clay projects

Yes, there are other things to consider such as cost, time investment, and your current skills, but this is a place to start. Happy crafting!

If you are a beginner crafter, my tip is to start simple. An easy way to get started is to create with simple materials such as paper, glue, and scissors. Making a simple greeting card is an excellent start for beginner crafters.

Two popular sizes for cards are A2 and 5x7. An A2 card's dimensions are 4.25x5.5. Premade notecards and envelopes are available at most craft and paper shops. Start simple with background paper, a cutout, a sticker, or hand lettering. You can even print a greeting using free-to-use google docs and your home printer.
