Most people think of crafts as something that only kids do, but this hobby can yield incredible homemade results. Whether making gifts, adding some personal touch to your wardrobe, or improving your home decor, it can be a fun and budget-friendly way to impress others, yourself included. So if you have idle hands and are in the mood for trying to make something by yourself, scroll through this list of creative DIY project ideas.

But crafts are not only for the bored ones of us. A growing body of research has shown incredibly positive impacts making crafts has on dementia and Alzheimer's patients. Although a dementia patient’s ability to reason continues to diminish with progression of the disease, ‘exercising’ their brain can slow that process down.

Not only are crafts beneficial to dementia patients, many experts say they’re essential to their health and well-being. The best crafts for dementia patients are those that offer physical, emotional, and cognitive stimulation. The craft also needs to meet the level of challenge that is right for the person. Some of the easiest crafts are drawing and painting. People at various stages of dementia and with various skill levels can all benefit from these activities.

These were outstanding, I am so glad we live in a time now that not only can these artists have access to options to create such wonders, but that they can share their skills with the world through space like BP and if they choose to, to sell them in places like Etsy, instead of just having amazing talent and it being a only those that know them kind of thing. Truly amazing work from everyone.

I made a clay dragon as my covid project. It took 52 hours spread across 7 months. I made it in 5 pieces, glazed it, then glued the pieces together. Then I painted over some spots with copper acrylic. The eyes are dichroic glass, which reflects light in rainbows. And if I can figure out how to post a picture, I will. Unfortunately, having never posted on this site before, and being on mobile, it’s not very clear how to add a picture.

All amazing and given all this time to fill, discovery of incredible talent for things they might not else have tried. Everyone keep up the great work. Whether to start a little (or rapidly growing) side business, some even capable of eventually saying goodbye to the old job and doing this, or just for your own and family and friend's enjoyment. Good on all of you. Now I'm off to see what I can make from my massive stash of ice cream containers. Wish me luck!
