What are some crafts I should try?
I’m trying to find an indoor hobby for those “rainy days.”I’m don’t have talent or creativity to do any art like drawing or painting. But I am pretty good putting thing together. Maybe something like models planes or ships,but I don’t think that’s quite what I’m looking for either. I love putting together puzzles,but anybody can do that if they have time. I want to create something. I don’t have a lot of space or money so I can’t buy a bunch of tools or equipment.
I would prefer something that will take a little time to build/make so I feel a sense of accomplishment when it’s done. But I don’t want it to take months,because I will loose interest before that. Any suggestions are appreciated.
You could try Papier Mache ?
The technique [especially layering] is easy &inexpensive,yet you can make any number of things with it –including games,toys,&utility stuff too.
www.artattack.co.uk has a number of projects that you should definitely take a look at.
Besides papier mache,Neil Buchanan has plenty of simple &easy tips on how to draw,paint,etc.
Just click on each project icon to get instructional details.
You could also try Modular Origami.

Or you could try Origami &Kirigami too.
You could personalize your stationery,make digital bookmarks,greeting cards,etc.
Look around your house. You will find plenty of stuff that may not be in use,or that can be used differently. Invent a game or puzzle or board game from the same. eg. with shells,old CDs,drinking straws,skewer sticks,matchsticks,old credit cards or visiting cards,tooth-picks,buttons,stickers,take-away forks/spoons/plates/bowls,nuts &bolts,spools,…..
You can make mosaic tiles [out of anything you want] &make a mosaic pattern/landscape,etc.
Or a collage using magazine paper,scrap paper,scrap fabric,&other odds ‘n’ends.
