Ten Best Crafts of 2015

Best Crafts for Creating Memories

These crafts are great because I have a bit of Adult ADHD. Meaning I get bored really easy. That means if the craft/DIY project takes too long then I lose interest and don’t finish. So what makes these the best crafts is that they are all quite simple and take very little time. But the results are definitely worth while!

DIY Pallet Garden. Now some may think it would fall more into the gardening. But you have to be a little crafty to get this done. It’s a simple DIY project, that really leaves a great result! Let’s cut down on those weeds and keep your garden contained!

Crochet Edging Burp Cloth – this is a favorite of mine. I love to crochet. And if you have a baby shower to attend, or know someone having a baby, or if you are having a baby, this is the best! My favorite baby shower gift is always the handmade gifts. And this will really blow your friends away! A simple edge crochet on a burp cloth and it is instantly the favorite! Trust me, I was given 2 of these as gifts after little Rose was born last September and they are my favorite burp cloth!

LEGO Tray Play Station. If you have kids that love to play with LEGO bricks, you need this tray play station! It is insanely easy to put together. You spend more time waiting for the glue to dry than you actually spend doing the craft. But even over a year later it is still one of the favorite gifts my kids have.
