It is proved: when a person works with his hands, he turns off the brain. We disable it, of course, not in the literal sense, but the mental tension is removed for sure. That is why hobbies with their own hands are especially popular among people of intellectual work. Agree, to make a postcard with your own hand is much more pleasant than watching serials.
CardMaking
Translating verbatim from English - making postcards. A very beautiful hobby and handicraft with their own hands, because it's nice to give someone not just a card bought, printed with a copy of 20 thousand, but a real work of art. To create postcards use paper with different tone and relief, appliqués, cloth, buttons, dried flowers and everything that only heads into the head.
Falting
Another hobby for girls with their own hands is felting, or felting. Wool is so flexible material that it is made of anything - pictures, clothes, toys , pillows, accessories. To the wool are added elements of silk, beads, yarn.
Molding
Molding from polymer clay is not just an interesting hobby with your own hands, but also a very useful procedure for increasing the sensitivity of the nerve endings of the fingers. Polymer clay is very similar to plasticine, it is so easy to work with it that you can learn this hobby with the children. Clay is made of various figurines, jewelry, charms, paintings.
Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking technology was created for careful storage of special, memorable photos. Basically, this hobby and enthusiasm for their own hands is aimed at decorating frames and photo albums. To do this, use various memorabilia - tickets, cards,
flowers, checks, as well as decorative elements - beads, ribbons, colored paper, fabric applications, etc.
The most important thing that distinguishes a hobby from work is gratuitousness. You can not do anything if you purposefully master the hobby for "factory stamping" postcards or toys. But, if you learn to receive gratuitous pleasure, before you open completely different spaces.
