If you’ve ever looked at Pinterest, you know that crafts aren’t just for kids. Indeed, crafting has been shown to provide a laundry list of benefits for adults—from relieving stress, depression and insomnia to decreasing the risk of age-related cognitive impairment. Plus, a good craft project can go a long way towards helping you achieve your interior decorating goals without breaking the bank.
That’s why I scoured the internet and compiled a list of easy crafts for adults for every level of skill and ambition, all of which yield finished products you’ll actually want to put on display. Best of all, you can tackle all of them from the comfort of your own home.While some of these ideas require a more advanced skill level, there are also plenty of crafts that a total beginner can pull off without difficulty. (Even I can succeed at the brushstroke monogram letter painting craft and I have absolutely no artistic talent.) With that in mind, read on for a selection of approachable DIY projects, budget-friendly upcycling decor ideas and simple crafts for adults—from decoupage magnets and DIY rugs, to painted glass vases and wearable works of art—that will inspire your inner artist.
