Spring isn't far off, there are fun crafting activities to keep you going until it arrives.

January 15 2025

Staying close to home, cozied up to the wood stove might be your jam. Or getting outside and wildcrafting could be more your thing. The twigs and pine cones you collect, or the driftwood off the beach might be your next great project.

Keeping your arts and craft supplies in good order and replacing those that have expired is a good activity right now before the spring rush. Adding more is not necessarily what you need, but organization is.

Paint doesn't last forever. You can recycle it when it gets gummy, or try adding some water and shaking it up. This can make it usable again, but it's not going to last forever. So use it up on some boards that you'll make into rustic garden signs so you have some ready to go when inspiration hits. Speaking of inspiration, here are some garden sign sayings just in case you can't wait.


If you are busy building some rustic crafts we would love to see them; go to the page linked here - scroll to the bottom to see where to share your story and add some pictures.
Join the Rustic And Succulents Group to share your ideas and inspiration, we'd love to have you!

When you've built something you're proud of, brag it up! Most groups love to hear what others have been doing, so share your pictures on there with a write up on the project.
