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.

I'm Addicted To Making Felted Cats. What Do You Guys Think?

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 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.

This Is How We Dye Easter Eggs In Serbia Using Only Natural Ingredients
Foxxy (The Original) 4 years ago (edited)
That's how the Greek orthodox do it also. Out of curiosity do you crack the eggs a specific way like the Greek Orthodox do? You hit your egg on someone else's and the person's which is uncracked goes to the next person and so on and so forth. And the person with the uncracked egg at the end shall have good luck for the rest of the year.

M O'Connell 4 years ago
The success-rate isn't terribly high (for me, anyway), but if you dye raw eggs (as opposed to hard-boiled ones) you can poke a tiny hole in either end of the shell and "blow" the contents out through the other hole.

But with the scraps, I made a tiny dino and and a tiny turtle. The dino's paint did this funky bubble thing, which was a mistake, but looked fabulous! At the end of camp, we had a show, where everyone had their parents come and ooooh and aaaah. My dino and turtle were a big hit. People loved them. I was proud. After the show, everyone picked up their creations to bring home. Someone stole my dino and turtle. It's been 40 years. I'm still bitter. My dino looked kind of like this one.

You are right to be nervous - beach stones are not meant to be taken for environmental reasons. I know people might think 'it's just one or two' but if enough people do it then it could have repercussions. Local authorities in the UK take it very seriously - think it might be a £1,000 fine.

I'm just glad we don't have to wear those side bustle(?) things anymore. I'd knock everything off of everything else if I had to walk around in those.

TRIGGER WARNING if you will watch it it has su*c*de in it, so be careful, also drugs/drugging people without their consent. also kind of r*pe. i really liked the movie, its one on my favourite movies, it was really disturbing, and something ive never seen before, i recommend it, however make sure no kids are around when you watch it.

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.
