During this month you should try to step out of your comfort zone and learn news and ultimately gain a new hobby. Painting is one of the few activities you can do during this month! You can push yourself to learn new skills and techniques. Whether you are a creative or non-creative, this is a fun activity to do in your spare time. |
Activity: Diamond Painting
| A little more complicated than regular painting but still so much fun! It can be a little time consuming, so it is advised that you do this activity when you have a little time to spare. It’s a really fun alternative if you don’t like dealing with the messiness of regular painting and it’s relatively easy. No prior skills needed, it allows you to take some time to relax your mind and just focus on one thing at once! |

Activity: Graphic Print

Activity: Paper Crafts
| Origami, the ultimate thing to do for craft month. Origami is a skill that is super fun once you get the hang of it.
