50 Times People Fused Excellent Ideas With Great Execution, And Came Up With These Crafts
When I think of crafts, I picture these weird-looking items floating on Etsy like eternal shipwrecks that rise to the surface every time you genuinely need something. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with pursuing your hobby, but it’s a whole different story if you’re trying to make money out of something you wouldn’t buy yourself. Hence, there’s an entire craft-shaming movement that humorously mocks such instances.
But there’s a whole different side to craftsmanship and here we are talking the perfect fusion of idea, execution, skill, and patience. Mix them together and you see pieces of handmade art that put the mass production industry to shame.
And thanks to the subreddit r/Crafts, we have the most eye-watering collection of crafty objects that prove there’s no limit to human imagination. With a whopping 1.6m contributing to this online community, it’s easy to fall in love with crafts even if you weren’t a big fan of them in the first place.

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.

I Make Pottery Out Of Dirt That I Dig Up Myself. These Are Made From 9 Different Wild Clays From Around The Brisbane Area
When it said "wild clay" I just had the image of the person going to hunt down the wild clay beast.
i something similar with slips and glazes for my pottery. my parent's house was settled on dirt with a high iron oxide content. for my mom's birthday, i threw a canister set for her and made a glaze with the dirt. it turnout out as an oatmeal coloured base with flecks of red and blood-brown. she loved it and dad was amused because he thought the onyl thing that came out of the garden was veggies.
I love the idea of "wild clay" (rather than just "local clay" or "natural clay" which I agree is far too tame).
Someone I know moved to a place in the country when she retired, found coarse "wild clay" on her land, and started using it for pottery. She's been so successful that she now gets so many commissions she can hardly make enough pots for craft shows!

Do you sell these in Brisbane anywhere? I'm local and would love to buy some to put succulents in as the colours would look amazing!
Can we organize delivery to Melbourne? These are fantastic

People must be potty not to want these. These will be nice for small herb plants.
Very beautiful. I wouldn't dare to use them even if I had them. I would just stare at them.
This is just Wow! I cannot imagine the level of satisfaction you must get from making these
I’d be too worried about lead to use for food sources but to put a plant in these are cool
They look like they'd be as pleasing to the touch as to the eye. A beautiful grouping.
Beautiful! I have orange and pale blue clay near me. I’d love to do this!

Last week I made bolognese sauce for the first time in my life ande felt sooooo proud. Then I see this and feel less than the dirt under my shoes. This people are so talented!
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 became obsessed with peyote stitch, and saw how to make these baskets in a dream (6" dollhouse guy for scale). baskets-60...5c9ea4.jpg 
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.
If anyone can explain how to add a picture, please do

Quarantine really has got people doing stuff they wouldn't even try normally, well done people.
No kidding! I went out to surprise my cousin for graduation and found out that my uncle, who I didn't think could do anything creative that didn't involve computer code, has started making Paracord keychains. He's really good, too.

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!
How are you all so talented. I found all them amazing since I can't even draw a straight line.
All of these are so great and now I truly feel like a giant sloth
these are all so amazing! I aspire to be an artist and crafter someday.
Everyone was so productive creating beautiful things, and my dumb ass just did nothing and gave myself anorexia.
