Honing Your Skills

This week marks the beginning of making a commitment to do something new. It doesn't just mean you have to buy a bulk supply of craft glue. It means if you want to be a successful DIYer you need to see projects out until the end otherwise you just end up with a jumbled up mess.  DIY projects take a lot of work and commitment and maybe that's why my house isn't covered in tie-dyed throw pillows. Being able to focus and see something are just as essential tools to crafters as stick-on gems. This week, I'm committing to not only challenging myself to spice up my life with creativity but to also teach myself some valuable life skills.
 Some people may think of DIYing as only a girly pastime rather than a true hobby that reaps success. I for one, do not see it that way. Your benefit is not just the obvious end product like a bracelet, it’s something much more. A person can learn skills in patience and perseverance as well as little tips and tricks they learn along the way like weaving techniques or better glue brands. Finally, one day, as you work your way up the glitter covered latter, you can hopefully one day sell your items for a physical cash benefit. This can be one of the best parts of DIYing. Every crafter’s dream; it allows them to sustain their hobby and gives them a sense of pride in their work. I hope reading this may give you some insight as to what DIYing is beyond the surface.
