Winter break, the end of a long semester and the beginning of a month of well needed R&R. Often we don't realize how much time we have to get things done over break but rather use this time to simply do nothing. Now there's nothing wrong with binge watching Netflix one day all snuggled in your bed with a cup of hot cocoa but if you're like me it is almost impossible to go this long without doing something productive. Here are so things that you could do to occupy your time over winter break.
Arm Knit
Now normally the biggest thing to do in the winter is to regular knit but lately I've been loving arm knitting so much more because it takes less time and you can knit a scarf in literally less than an hour. Here's a great video that shows you the basics of arm knitting!
Peppermint Spoons
This one is something that I have yet to try but have been meaning to for a long time. The spoon mold is sold on Amazon for around $10 which I think is a great deal. It's a great way to make your hot cocoa or coffee have a little extra kick and you could also make these into gifts for the holidays! Here's a video that explains how to make the candy spoons!
Mug Marbling
What's cuter than a customized mug for your hot cocoa and peppermint spoon? This is a quick and easy DIY that you can make in about 10 minutes (and a day to dry). All you will need is a plain mug which you can get at Michaels or any craft store, and nail polish. Here's a video explaining how to do it!
Bath Bombs
If you try to convince me that you don't like taking a bath then you are just straight up lying. In my opinion bath's are more fun as an adult than they ever were as a kid. Bath bombs are all the craze these days especially the ones from Lush. If you don't have a Lush store near you are if you are just feeling ambitious why not try to make your own bath bomb! These are great for personal use or to give as gifts! Here's a video explaining how to make them!
Winter break doesn't only have to be a Netflix binge party. If you have the motivation doing some of the above things would make your break productive and they can be gifts for the holidays if you're on a budget! Now if the DIY's above didn't catch your eye I highly suggest going on Pinterest and looking for things that suit your interests! Happy crafting!
