Crafts have always been linked to an activity for children. However, those of us who love to have fun with our imagination and be creative, continue to create and design new objects that personalize our home even when we are adults. That's why, and because I know that you also love crafts, no matter what age you are, I leave you with a great compilation of 10 very original ideas to make the most of your creativity.

Why should children have all the fun in arts and crafts projects? Adults can benefit from handmade, which is an easy way to express creativity and communicate emotions. (For these very good reasons, adult coloring books are very popular.) In addition, adult handicrafts can produce incredible homemade effects-for gifts, wardrobes, home decoration, parties and entertainment, etc. Wait. You don’t have to be a professional craftsman: we have collected 19 adult craft ideas from bloggers on the Internet to stimulate your creativity, whether you are a novice or an experienced craftsman.

How to make a handmade watchmaker

This idea is as easy as getting a wine bottle container, which is usually a rectangular wooden box. Once you have this, you can paint it to your liking, decorate it and include the accessories you consider necessary to have a very personal watchmaker.

Paper chain wallhanging

This project originated from a simple paper chain making concept, which you may remember as you grow up. But every inch of it is an exquisite interpretation of this concept, presented as a color block wall hanging for adults to make and enjoy.

A jewelry box with wine corks

And while you're at it, after having drunk, yes, a few bottles of wine, you will have managed to collect a lot of corks that will serve to make a jewelry box like this. It is very useful, sustainable and will give a great touch to your bedroom.

Make a shelf by recycling boxes

If what you need at home is a shelf, but you can't find the ideal one, take a good look at this idea. You will need boxes similar to those used in greengrocers. My advice is to sand them well to avoid splinters, paint or varnish them and once you have them treated, adhere them to each other (with the shape that you like and fits the space they will occupy), either with a strong glue, or with a drill and screw in hand.

Decorate and restore an antique piece of furniture easily

If you have at home a chest of drawers or any other antique furniture and you want to restore it, there are very simple ways with which you can get a pretty good and sophisticated result. For example, as you can see in this case, it would be enough to sand the furniture and paint it to your liking. And once you have it, you can put decorative vinyls or even change the knobs, to make it vintage and very very elegant.

How to make a cell phone charging stand

Sometimes we need to charge our cell phone, but we can't place it on a table. And that's what crafts like this one are for. To avoid leaving on the floor, or hanging, our smartphone. Besides, look how easy it is. You can use a cardboard box to give it shape, glue with glue or glue each part of the support and then line it with any decorative paper.

Sophisticated decoration with glass canning jars

And now, if you want to go to the next level of difficulty, take a look at this decorative element. It can be ideal in any living room. You will need glass jars and a lot of imagination. Because inside you can either put butterflies as in the example, or any other object you like. Tip: use wires to hold these objects inside the jars.

Create a fun cell phone holder

This is really useful and easy. You will only need cotton to stuff cushions, felt of different colors, ornaments... and a little hunger. As you can see in the example, the idea is to make a quilted donut that will fit your cell phone. It is as simple as making a cushion cover but in a small size and in the shape of a donut. You can use it to hold it on a table and it looks beautiful.

Tablet cover with denim fabric

We all have old jeans at home. That's why I know you will like this idea. You will need a relatively sturdy cardboard on which to glue the tablet cover that you will have previously sewn taking into account the measurements of the tablet. Adhere the cardboard to the fabric and use a rubber band to close it and further protect your device.

How to make a wooden beer crate

Finally, I leave you with this video in which you can see one of the last tutorials we have done in Handfie. You'll see how you feel like getting to work with wood to get this cool beer crate.

You already know. Get to work, I'm sure you'll find some of these ideas useful and fun. We will still be here... waiting to see your designs!
