1. Solidify your memories with collage art / scrapbooking
A quintessential example of a beginner-friendly craft hobby, collage art works like scrapbooking old material together for archival purposes. You’ll most likely have everything you need at home already, as common items include photos, movie tickets, and book pages — anything of sentimental value to you. In other words, you can make a memory scrapbook! You can even further embellish this item with ribbons or flowers! What a neat way to personalise this decorative item, right? It’ll even make a...
2. Express your creativity with brush stroke art
This one’s for anyone who’s a beginner at painting and is usually daunted by picking up a paintbrush (I surely am). As the perfect entryway into painting, the basis for this craft is the blending of brush strokes — simple as that! The colours you want to choose are up to you. But of course, don’t overlook the beautiful piece that you can manage to create!
3. Tap into your childhood with colouring books
I’m sure that many of us owned colouring books and packs of colouring pencils when we were younger, which certainly made for an enjoyable pastime. However, you might find that many adults still dabble in colouring books — so why not give it a go again? Truly a walk down memory lane, colouring, for any age, is very therapeutic (it might be even more necessary in adulthood).
8. Brew your own kombucha
Once again, my first exposure to kombucha came when I was at home: I walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a waft of sourness. Once I found out where the smell emanated from, I was introduced to the superfood known as kombucha! My mom had set up her workstation of fruits, glass bottles, and fermentation, and she let me sample a bit of what she had been brewing for a couple days. I was surprised by the amount of alcohol that could accumulate from fruit; but at the same time, I was delight...
9. Experiment with a new recipe
If you’re used to making the usual fried rice or pasta for a quick weeknight dinner, why not take the time to dabble with a new recipe? Since you won’t have to battle the peak hour traffic and rush to get home in the evenings, it might be a fun idea to indulge in a recipe that’ll take a bit longer to do. From Beef Wellington, to fresh pasta, or even fresh, homemade bread, you’ll certainly love the aroma that will fill your kitchen (and of course, the yumminess that will fill your tummy)! Also...
10. Care for the environment by upcycling old materials
This one should be the most readily available as the fundamental materials you’ll require are things you’d normally dispose of. You’ll just need some additional basic craft supplies which you won’t need to splurge on! This craft is all about repurposing materials, and transforming them into pretty decorative items. For instance, you can make a hanging decoration from cardboard egg carton trays, a pencil holder from toilet paper rolls, and planter boxes made from plastic egg carton trays or mi...
11. Have a green thumb by being a plant parent
Live plants are notoriously known to wither very easily, as they’re extremely sensitive to light and water. However, now that you’re bound indoors, why not give being a plant parent another go? My suggestion for the best indoor house plants are the snake plant, the monstera, and the pothosplant! I love how adding a plant to your room not only adds vibrancy, but can also lift up your spirits as well. Since you’re spending more time indoors, why not make your space as homey and cosy as possible?
12. Speak your mind by reviewing movies and TV shows
Movies and TV shows are an impressive work of art: They manage to create a believable world rich in characters and storyline. Thus, writing a review after makes you reflect on what especially resonated with you. It’s a great way to zone out and think not about your life, but about someone else’s journey unfolding before your very own eyes. For me, I found my passion in writing when I began reflecting on the movies I’d watch and how much they changed my perspective. Also read: 15 Best Feel-Goo...
13. Finish that book or movie you’ve been holding off
I hope I’m not alone in keeping a “to read” pile in my room and constantly adding a new film or TV show onto my Netflix account’s “My List” tab. However, now that I’ve got a bit more free time on my hands, I’ve been working my way through this to-do list of entertainment outlets. Also, why not create a list of must-watch movies and/or must-read books? You’ll realise that this personally curated list says a lot about you because of how much time you spent enjoying these entertainment outlets,...
14. Film a day-in-the-life routine
This one’s for the aspiring filmmakers or anyone who enjoys filming as a creative hobby and outlet. Using just your phone, why not experiment with capturing events within the comfort of your own home? Whether it’s as simple as making a cup of coffee, prepping lunch, or cleaning up your room, you’ll be surprised by how much effort goes into a task that you’ve become so used to! There are multiple camera angles to consider, and you might need to capture different takes to capture if you’re feel...
Ultimately, the key is not to feel demoralised, as this is the time to be creative and to try out any hobby (and everything, if that’s what you feel like doing)! You’re not supposed to feel the pressure to succeed or be super competent at something, as this is time for all of us to unwind. We should, after all, be focused on staying healthy and saf...
