And last but certainly not the least, is creating your amazing abstract art. This one really is open-ended and allows you to experiment to your heart's content with different colours, patterns, and designs. All you need to start is some paint, a brush, and a canvas and you can let your imagination run wild and create lots of wonderful paintings.

Tie-dye shirts

Tie-dye shirts have been around for a while and making them at home is very satisfying and gives you a sense of fulfilment. All you need for this is a plain white top, preferably a T-shirt, rubber bands, fabric dye in your favourite colours, and a pair of gloves.

Scrunch and twist the shirt for your desired pattern and tie them with the bands; either drip your colours onto the shirt or dip the shirt in the colour. After a while, remove the rubber bands and let it dry. Voila! You now have a super awesome shirt that you created.

Picture collage

This one's pretty self-explanatory. It might be what people call 'basic' but honestly seeing pictures of good memories or motivational quotes does brighten up one's mood.

All you need is some pictures, some glue, and a place to set it all up. Alternatively, you can use wires and clips to hang them up too for a more temporary setup in case you want to change the pictures often.

Origami

Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, creating elaborate designs using a single piece of paper without cutting or using glue.

All you need for this are some paper, they can be plain white or in various colours. You can find tonnes of videos online on how to make animals, flowers, and even folding paper to make structures!

Friendship bracelets

The classic friendship bracelet — we have all seen them, and some of us were fortunate to get them, well now you can make them! All you need are some colourful strings and scissors.

Cut 6 or so strands and tie them together in a knot and continue tying in your desired pattern; end with a knot at the other end when the length is appropriate.

Repeat this for more rows if needed and there you go! Your very own friendship bracelet. You can even include beads or some miniature decor too.
