Crochet – another old craft that seems to have peaked in interest once again is that of crochet. There are lots of beautiful items that can be made from crocheting such as clothing, blankets and even toys. One particular style of crochet that is being enjoyed a moment is that of amigurumi. This is where small crochet stitches are used to create a toy such as a bear. The items are then stuffed with toy makers’ stuffing and can be gifted or used as decorations around the home. It is a much more intricate crochet form than creating granny squares for a blanket, but it is equally as enjoyable.

Jewellery making – lots of different jewellery types can be created including those that are created from different metals such as silver and gold as well those jewellery items that can be created from resin and polymer clay. There are lots of people creating items like this that are sharing their creations and the ways in which they make them on a variety of social media channels. So you are bound to be able to find some inspiration for your own jewellery making.
