Make Your Indoor Days Colorful: Best Crafts For Lazy Weekends

The pandemic has us all stuck home lately, and most of us are unwilling to risk going out even with covid restrictions easing up in most places. But this might mean that you just get bored or run out of things to do. 

If you want to do something fun over the weekend but don’t want to put in too much effort into it or step out of the house, you’re in good hands. We have a lot of ideas today for you to try over the weekend, and you can visit Craft Whack or other websites if you think these ideas aren’t enough. Let’s get into it! 

Make a Painting 

There isn’t anything more relaxing than making a painting for your bedroom. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated or over the top – you don’t have to make realism your actual goal. Just focus on making sure the painting is simple, neat, and fun to paint. 

If you’re a beginner, paintings with clean lines and minimal shading or mixing are your best bet. You can just take out a ruler, draw some lines on the canvas and make it into a web, then color into those lines whatever way you want. Take inspiration from simple paintings online or follow online tutorials – as long as you’re not selling those paintings, they’re available for you to learn from. 

Here are the things you’ll need to paint for the first time 

• A canvas or piece of cardboard 
• Brushes 
• Paint 
• Varnish (if you want to preserve the painting and hang it later) 

If you think you’re bad at painting, you might just be using the wrong brushes for the technique you’re trying to pull off. Make sure that’s not the case! 

Try Tie and Dye 

If you have any old t-shirts or dresses laying around, take the opportunity to spice them up a bit. You’ll need some good fabric dye and thread, and you can either follow tutorials to create fun patterns or try to come up with something of your own. 

You can take it a step further by pulling out some fabric paint or thread and writing over the dye once that process is done. For example, you can stitch a small black heart on the top left side of your t-shirt after dying it, or you can add some patterns along the border. 

Make Homemade Jewelry 

The options are endless with this one – from clay jewelry to bracelets made out of strings to intricate items made out of copper wire, the possibilities are endless. All you have to do is be creative and have fun, and the end result is going to be cute jewelry that you can flaunt. With how popular these things are, you might even be able to sell some of your jewelry to friends and family or online!
