What is a good hobby/craft or interest that I can consider doing?

Answer 1

You could take photos, you could do scrapbooking, you could build birdhouses, you could take up knitting or crochet, you could paint, take a trip to a local craft supply store. Then you could look around and see what they have to offer that appeals to you. At first, see if there are any small beginner kits available. That way you could get enough supplies to do a small project, you will find out if it is a craft that you like, and you won't have to spend too much money.

If you don't enjoy it, you can try something else. I don't know where you live, but Michael's is a good store if there is one near you. If not, you could look them up on the web. They can ship purchases to you.

Answer 2

If you are not sure what craft/hobby to pick up... begin with some research and a list of things that interest you . Example: if you like boats but are deathly afraid of water, don't pick up sailing but look into model ship building. Once you have narrowed down to a list, look into local groups or take a class. See if you can borrow some of the equipment or rent before you have to make an investment in supplies (esp if the cost is very high). Most people that are in a hobby/craft are more than willing to share and help with newbies. If you find someone that isn't remember that it's only one person and don't judge the hobby/craft on an individual.
Good luck!

I suggest you visit a Michaels and a Hobby Lobby. They are very craft oriented - making, baking, creating, hammering, painting, etc...
Then I suggest you find the biggest flea market in your area and spend a day there. What catches your eye? Are you drawn to some items over others? Would you be willing to learn more about collecting some items - their value, availability, history, etc...
Not all hobbies have to be expensive but you need to find something that truly intrigues you - and perhaps challenges you just alittle - if you wanted boring, you'd stay on your computer all day :)
Good luck, from someone with more projects than time....

How about mosaics? You can be creative, supplies are easy to come by since you can use broken tiles, polished stones, old china, scrap stained glass etc. And, there are no hard and fast rules about how your finished product has too look.

I started it about 2 years ago, started with a small project, and had a blast. There are lots of free patterns (I used the free stained glass patterns) on the internet, lots of free information. Just put mosaics into a search engine on the internet. I am hooked and have made some neat stuff for my home now. You can make stuff for indoors or out, to give away or even sell.

If you are looking for a collecting type hobby, how about coin collecting? I have been collecting for a few years now. Again, lots of info on the web and you can start small until you find exactly what coin or coins you want to collect. I collect 50 cent pieces.

Answer 5

Research old newspapers at your local library and start a column in your local paper about local happenings and events that happened 25, 50, even 100 years ago.

I looked up an old newspaper that was published 100 years before my birth and saw where a horse was pulling a wagon down a brick road and the pin dropped out of the hitch, threw the guy, and he broke his arm. Who'da thunk I'd be born 100 years later? Coincindently, I didn't know him or any of his family.
