We all may be stuck at home due to the pandemic and Winter weather, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyable. There are fun crafts to do at home that allow you to use found materials and keep you from twiddling your thumbs. 

Check out these four crafts you and your family will love while you’re spending time indoors.

1. Make a Terrarium

Kids and adults alike will enjoy making a terrarium that adds some color and plant life to your home. You can use a glass jar that you have lying around or hang a glass planter next to a window. Found rocks and miniatures will also make your terrarium whimsical and fun to design.

To make this craft extra easy, you use a complete terrarium kit. These kits come with everything you need to plant succulents or create a fairy garden. You can also use air plants that require no maintenance and provide a stunning display.

2. Upcycle Old Clothes

Find a new use for worn clothing and spice up your wardrobe. You can cut up clothes that no longer fit and turn them into reusable wash rags. Try repurposing old t-shirts into a quilt to pillowcase.

You can also add designs to jeans with fabric paint, or tye-dye shirts to cover up stains. Iron-on patches are another thing you can design yourself and ass some flare. Take a peek at these instructions for ironing on patches to damaged clothes, and then you can express yourself in style.
