Why does it work?
Focus on the process, not the problems
When you cut, glue or paint, thoughts about deadlines and worries recede. Each layer of paper or stroke of paint is like a small meditation. 🧘‍♀️
Tactile therapy
There is something incredibly calming in holding an object in your hands, feeling the texture of the material and seeing how something beautiful is born from a bunch of details.
The result pleases the eye and the soul
When the craft is ready, a feeling of pride and satisfaction appears. You created something with your own hands — and it gives you a sense of control over your life, which is sometimes so lacking.
Creativity without rules
You can make whatever your heart desires: from cute postcards to complex three-dimensional figures. No one criticizes, no one rushes — just you and your mood.
Start with a small project: a postcard, a mini-sculpture, a bookmark. Even 15 minutes of creativity can turn a day of "chaos" into a day of "hooray!"
DIY crafts are not just a hobby, they are my personal way of telling stress: "Wait, I'm busy with creativity for now." And when the nerves are calmed — the world seems brighter, and I smile more often. 🌸
