While the word “crafts” may conjure up images of your grandma knitting away in an armchair, they are definitely not dated skills. There are a range of craft skills that will help you out in a range of day to day situations. Sometimes mending or making something yourself is a better option than buying something brand new. You don’t have to take these craft skills up as hobbies, but they sure are handy to have.

1. Sewing
This is probably the most important craft skill to have. Whether it is using a sewing machine or simply hand stitching something, knowing how to sew will always save the day. If you don’t plan on becoming an expert seamstress, at least know the basics. Learn how to sew a hemline. Learn how to sew a button on. These are all must-have skills.
Craft skills are like little superpowers! They let you create beautiful and useful things right from your own hands. Plus, it’s a great way to relax and express yourself!
Oh, there are plenty! Try knitting a simple scarf, making friendship bracelets, or even decorating a journal. Start with what excites you and go from there!
Absolutely! Many people turn their crafting skills into side businesses or full-time careers. Imagine selling your handmade jewelry or unique home decor items. How cool is that?
Not at all! You’d be surprised how many crafts start with things you already have at home. Basics like scissors, glue, and paper can get you going. As you learn, you might want to invest in some tools specific to your interests.
It can be tricky, but even small chunks of time can lead to amazing projects. Try dedicating a few minutes after dinner or on a weekend morning. Crafting can be your little oasis of calm in a hectic world!
2. Knitting
It’s often given an “uncool” stigma, but knitting is making a comeback! A range of celebrities have recently professed their addiction to the craft. It’s suddenly trendy.

3. Card Making
Have you ever been in the situation where you need to send a card but don’t have any handy? I have, plenty of times. This is why card making is such a useful skill. Print out one of your favourite photos or try your hand at drawing an original design. You don’t have to have a grand artistic vision. If you know the basics of good design, that will suffice. It’s the thought that counts, and I’m sure many people would appreciate a hand made card as part of a gift.

4. Origami
The most well known origami model is probably the paper crane. The age old art of Japanese paper folding takes a bit of time to master, but when you do the results can be something quiet special. It’s also handy for captivating a crowd of kids (and adults, for that matter!) This is one party trick that will always impress.

6. Flower Design
Floristry is an entrenched part of many cultures. I’m always in awe of people who can arrange flowers in beautiful and immaculate ways. It’s no easy task putting together an aesthetically pleasing and balanced bouquet. I also find that flower arranging is a great way to calm myself. The best part is that at the end of it all, I get a lovely looking bunch of flowers!

7. Pottery
This skill is messy, but it’s fun. It’s something you have to try at least once in your life. You may find it soothing, or just a way to unleash your creativity. Try making a bowl or mug for a start. If you have a knack for creating unique and interesting pieces, you may even be able to start selling for profit. If not, at least you can always hand out handmade mugs as presents!
What is your must have craft skill? Are there any more that you’d like to add to the list?
