Hello everyone, and welcome to my second post of this post. I hope you guys had an amazing week so far. Today I’m back with another DIY craft post. And since craft projects are not ready yet. I have something good. Maybe you will need it when I start doing crafts again. Here is how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts.
Maybe you want to start but you can’t yet. Well, I will mention some things that will help you. Even when you can do it. You will need passion because crafting needs you to have. When it comes to some crafts. Passion will be the reason for you to finish the DIY craft.
How to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts

If you have passion and love crafting. That’s awesome. However, some people struggle to craft it even though they want to do it. And that is because they are not passionate enough. We need to develop it even when having it.
When I mention DIY, there are tons of things that we can do at home. The DIY is a short term for “Do it yourself”. However, for this post, I will focus on crafts. And it can be any craft material you use. It doesn’t matter as long as you craft.
Sometimes crafting can take a long time. But if you are passionate, you will keep going until you make it. Just like anything in life, we can develop passion, or sometimes we have it naturally. This post will be about how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts.
In the beginning, I had so much passion for crafts. But, if I didn’t develop it. Today, I will have a zero passion for crafting anything. I’m just pausing for now because I have other things to deal with. When I’m done with them and got everything sorted out. The DIY project will be back and there will be more ideas to post on this blog.
For now, I’m going to share with you guys How to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts. Tips and ways to help to develop it. Either you already have or you want to start doing DIY projects. This will be for you and I hope you will find it enough to help you.
You can say to yourself that it’s fun and whatever. But sometimes it won’t be enough. Therefore, I put together a list that actually will help you to enjoy the DIY crafts and how develop a passion for doing DIY crafts.
1. Craft easy and awesome ideas
If you are looking to develop a passion for crafting. You need to start crafting something easy that impresses you. There are plenty of ideas on the internet that you can do that are amazing. This will be a good start for you if you want to know how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts.
Trust me, it will boost your ego and love craft when you see results. And you will have to do other things. Because one of them is also on this list. To develop a passion for doing DIY crafts. Just warm yourself with easy and awesome ideas at first.
I’m sure these simple and yet awesome ideas won’t cost a lot. That’s also a good thing because when you start, you don’t need to go crazy and spend a lot of money. There are a lot of good things that come from here and just develop your passion for DIY crafts.
Also, when you start with easy ideas, you get familiar with the process. This way, you know how it feels when you craft. And as you keep crafting. Try new ideas and you will improve your crafting skills. Then, you will start loving crafting more and more. You can check here to see more awesome ideas you can do.
Well, you can find tons of easy ideas. But you need to make sure that it’s an awesome idea. Something you will be impressed to see. For example, easy to craft, but an awesome paper flower. It will help to develop passion the more you do.
It also helps when you start a DIY project and finish it. Because sometimes we can’t finish it when things don’t go our way. And we would hate crafting for that. But this will help you to get it done and see the results of your work.
2. Plan to craft something when you feel good
Well, at first when you just starting to craft. Make it something you do when you feel good. Don’t force yourself to craft something to practice or whatever the reason. It will help you to enjoy it and therefore, you would want to craft more.
If you don’t have anything and feel good. Try to craft something easy and quick. Take it as a chance to do the first one I mentioned on this list of how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts. Things can go well when you feel good and craft.
But when you have so much on your mind or not feeling good. You will be distracted and don’t pay attention to your crafting.
Also, you will enjoy it more when you are crafting and feeling great. That’s why I said craft when you feel good if you want to know how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts. You can do this list easily and don’t struggle mentally or physically.
Sometimes you don’t know when you will feel good. Therefore, you don’t have to plan all the time. Whenever you feel good and can craft. I would recommend you to pass some time crafting and learn how to craft.
Always make sure that you think of crafting and planning when you are feel good. It’s not good to do something when you are not feeling well. And it’s not good when you want to develop the passion for crafting.
3. Try crafting useful items
When you keep crafting, try new things. And maybe useful crafts. Things that can help to make your life easier. It feels great to use things that you did. And that will help to develop the passion to craft more and more.
Useful crafts don’t have to be complicated. You will manage to craft them easily. There are tons of ideas on the internet and tutorials you can follow. The materials also can be different and from easy to get and difficult to get. I’m sure you will find the useful craft of any material.
Some people would go to buy the items. But, if you think of crafting it for yourself. For sure, you will start to love crafting. And it will save you money. So, both develop passion and also save money. And that’s one of many things that’s great about DIY crafts. Check here, one of the useful items I made before. And here is another one.
I’ve made tons of useful items on my blog. And the tools and materials are very easy to get. So, it will be good to save money and get the things you want. Turn what you have at home into something useful for you. And it can be for years if you can take care of it well.
Well, I say try because at first, you will just try one or two times. Don’t craft complicated useful items. Because that’s not a good idea. It can be simple but useful crafts. You will need patience as well, which you can develop following this way.
4. Include fun things to do when crafting
Crafting is something, but if you have two options. Either start crafting something and get it done. The second one is to start crafting something and try to include fun things. It’s good for how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts.
When you enjoy the process, you would want to craft it every day. Therefore, don’t make it boring or finish fast. This will help you to get the next one that I will mention about how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts. Therefore, when you plan the steps of the DIY project. Add some of the fun things to do.
For example, drawing or coloring. These can be enjoyable. But what you draw and color depends on you and the craft. I’m sure there are a lot of ways to enjoy the crafting process. And it doesn’t have to be the two I mentioned.
Make the process of crafting more fun for you. And you will love it and can develop a passion for crafting anything in the future. Well, there is no limit to this as long as you can think more of new things to make it fun for you.
When people take it so seriously. I don’t think anyone would enjoy it. So, if you are trying to develop a passion. It’s important to make it that you enjoy it. When things get difficult, you will still craft anyway. Because you make it fun and enjoy the process.
Some moments we can control, but some that we can’t. Since we have moments to control. We need to make sure that they are fun and enjoyable. This way, we have a chance to love to do it again and again. Because if we love to do it again, that means we are enjoying it.
5. Focus on the fun moments
Something that will also help you to develop a passion for DIY crafts remembers fun moments. Remind yourself of the positive moments you had when you were crafting. Even though we have bad moments when we craft something. There are also tons of positive and good moments.
It’s good to remember that you can get fun moments when crafting something. This way, you will love DIY crafts more. But, also following the rest of the tips on how to develop a passion for doing DIY crafts.
If you can save the fun moments with pictures. That would be even better. You can see it again in the future. Anytime you feel down, it would help you to feel better and remember that also can be something positive when crafting.
There will be a lot of things happens while working on a DIY craft. And some of them can be frustrating, but we need to focus on the good side. That would be the fun moments we get from crafting. This is something will help you to develop a passion for DIY crafts.
Even though it might be annoying sometimes, but that’s part of the process. And we can’t hate DIY craft based on just that. For me, going through the difficult moment is the joy of crafting. Therefore, I don’t really mind going through it.
6. Watch craft ideas on the internet
Something that makes me want to craft more is when I see others do it. Checking other DIY craft ideas helps me to be inspired. And that will help you to develop a passion for crafting. So, if you can’t get yourself to do DIY project. You can watch people do crafts and see how they can do it.
It’s not only how to do it, but how awesome it can be at the end. A good way to be inspired to craft more. Ans with following the rest of tips on this post. It will help you to improve and develop a passion for DIY crafts.
Meanwhile, you are trying to get your mind into crafting. This will be the best time to watch crafts on the internet. I think that;s one way got me into the spirit of doing DIY crafts. And I’m sure it will help you as well if you are looking to have a passion for crafts.
There are cool ideas that will impress you and you want to try them. Well, that’s how you will get yourself to take the challenge and try it yourself. For me, If I have the time and saw something on the internet I would try to craft it.
And remember that these comes together. The more you do of this list, the better results you will get. So, don’t just follow one and think that it’s all you need. Even if you have a passion for crafting. Also, you will need to develop and maintain it.

I love your ideas and tips! I have always enjoyed working on crafts.

For me I need to have a purpose so my motivation is always to make something useful. But I guess everyone has a different inspiration to make something and you have to go with what inspires you.
Well, crafting can be also for fun. And sometimes motivation can be for saving money and crafting something for you. But, you are right, everyone has different inspirations!

Starting with fun and easy crafts is key. Some crafts are better done by more advanced crafters. If you start with those, you’ll definitely lose the excitement.

I’ve crafted when making something useful or needed. I would like to try it when I feel good as you suggest, and I am in the mood for it, not just to make something needed. The process will probably be more enjoyable for sure.

I love doing macrame DIY crafts! I like crafts that have a quick turn-around time and this usually fits the bill!
I see! That’s awesome!
I have loved crafts since I was a little kid. My Mom used to do them with me all the time.
Awesome, DIY crafts are fun!
True! You gotta take time to look into the fun moments. As for me, I love creating handmade products through crochet and I love it so much!
Maybe I should give this a try. I am semi-retired and have some extra time to spare.
My motivation is my grandchildren. They love crafting so much, and want me to do it with them. It makes it instantly easy for me to love doing it.
That’s awesome, it’s fun to do with children. Thank you for commenting!
I love your point about focusing on the fun, because essentially that’s what crafting should be!
Right? We don’t care about some bad moment and judge everything based on it. Thank you for commenting!
Whatever you do, whether building passion for crafts or anything, always focus on the fun part.

I love DIY crafting. I always find it helps lift my mood. Even when I don’t want to do it, sometimes the act of making myself do it cheers me up.

I have a bit of an obsession with DIY projects, I just love them so much
YEah, DIY crafts are fun to do.
Love This! I’ve always wanted to be more crafty. Now I feel like maybe I can actually make it happen!
That’s awesome, I’m glad to know that. Thank you for reading!
Hhhhmmm…I think I should start from crafting the very important items first! From there on out, I should be able to get more creative and innovative.
That’s awesome. I hope you enjoy crafting!
I love the idea of crafting things you need. What a great way to save!
Thank you for your feedback!
Definitely agree. I love to do crafts but sometimes, it’s hard to find the passion/motivation!
Thank you for agreeing with me.
I find that the crafts that I enjoy the most are ones that stretch me a little beyond my current experience level, because I get a feeling of satisfaction when learning a new skill. I think that when people try to take on a craft project that is very ambitious, they get frustrated and give up. Baby steps are better!
That’s awesome! Thank you for reading!
You are absolutely true, if you don’t have passion for crafting, you can never make it. Any DIY needs passion and patience both. And if you develop passion you will be automatically patient for the project. Great post 👍
Thank you so much! I’m glad you are with me!
Great tips. I love to craft but sometimes worry that it becomes a chore more than a hobby. Thank you!
Thank you for reading!
I don’t do crafts at all but I’ve always thought it looked like a fun and relaxing activity with a great end result!
Yeah, it’s fun to craft
