I love these cute macrame and cinnamon stick Christmas decorations.  You could always use small sticks if you don't have cinnamon sticks.

Make your own cute birthday, thank you and just because cards.

Origami is a great way to practice mindfulness. It's not just for kids - check out this model by an origami artist in California. All you need is some paper and some patience.

Whether you are bored because you're in iso or on school holidays - try out these boredom busting crafts. The good news is you don't need too many supplies.

Let's face it - Mother's Day is a bit of a struggle this year and your Mum probably needs pampering more than ever so why not make her these awesome spa products and give her a facial at home (if she's game). Most of the ingredients can be found in your fridge or pantry or you can find them at your local grocery store ( or chemist for the Vitamin E oil). According to www.allure.com a facial should include the following:

1. double cleanse
   
2. exfoliate
3. mask
4. steam
5. moisturise and massage

If you're going crazy missing your best friends, here's how you can make your own. I visited https://paperthinpersonas.com and printed out some paper dolls and clothes then stuck a photo where the head should be. There are all kinds of crazy outfits. You can either print them out in colour or in black and white and colour them in yourself. I just stuck a piece of cardboard on the back so it would stand up. You could make one of yourself and pop it in your friend's letterbox.
