As we usher in the New Year, what better way to embark on a journey of self-discovery and creativity than by setting crafting resolutions? This year, let’s focus on the joy of crafting and the fulfillment it brings. Here are five crafting resolutions that will not only fuel your creativity but also contribute positively to your crafting community.
If you’d like to commit to any of these resolutions for the month of January, you can sign up for reminders here. There may even be a special surprise for those who enter!
1. Treat Yourself to Craft Time 3 Times This Month
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to neglect our creative spirits. This resolution prioritizes self-care through crafting. Allocate specific time slots in your calendar dedicated solely to your craft. Whether it’s card-making, stickers, or t-shirts, these moments are a gift to yourself, allowing you to unwind and tap into your artistic side.
2. Contribute 3 Projects to the Cricut Community in Design Space
Crafting is not just a solitary endeavor; it’s about sharing and inspiring others. Commit to contributing three projects to the Cricut community in Design Space. Whether it’s a unique design, a helpful tutorial, or a creative twist on an existing project, your contributions will ripple through the crafting community, sparking inspiration and connection.
3. Try a New Material
Break out of your crafting comfort zone by experimenting with a new material. If you’re a seasoned paper crafter, try working with vinyl. If you’re a pro with iron-on, try making some cards. Embracing new materials not only broadens your skill set but also opens the door to fresh and exciting creative possibilities.
You can shop all of our materials here.
