The Benefits of Crafting
REASONS FOR KIDS TO CRAFT
-
Improves motor skills — Having children create things with their hands improve their motor skills. Crafts help with hand-to-eye coordination and retention of muscle memory. They also have been proven to speed up children's ability to do things independently as they receive more freedom to do what they desire, allowing motor skills to refine and expand more quickly.
-
Improves critical skills — Crafts allow children to make decisions and evaluate the solution, critically thinking in theoretical and practical situations. Crafts lead kids to think out of the box and develop creative solutions, fostering problem-solving skills, aiding visual learning, and improving concentration.
-
Improves creativity — Crafts help kids bring their imagination to life by getting them to make their wild ideas into reality and help them discover new things. Creativity is vital in every aspect of life, from personal, professional, and social experiences, and should be introduced at a young age.

REASONS FOR ADULTS TO CRAFT
It's Therapeutic
Crafting keeps your fine motor skills sharp and your mind focused. Hand embroidery helps people to focus, keeping worries and the chaotic thoughts of our daily life away. Hand embroidery is meditative and has been used as a therapeutic method to improve mental and emotional health.
Boosts Confidence
The more you make something beautiful, the more you know what you are capable of. Hand embroidery gives gratification from watching the pattern unravel itself as you stitch. Your efforts are reflected in something beautiful, and you learn to appreciate yourself.
Builds Pateince
Crafting actually lowers your blood pressure and trains your brain to be disciplined. Hand embroidery specifically instills patience in many of us over time. Taking the time to decide on the materials, stitches, and patterns for your project and stitching it to the finish requires a certain amount of perseverance.
WHY CHOOSE EMBROIDERY TO START?
Embroidery is a very simple craft where you use a needle to apply thread or yarn to a material for decoration. It is an easy craft to begin with since the pattern is already created for you! All you have to do is choose your colors, find a design that is perfect for you, and thread through the holes to create a beautiful pattern. This craft can be easily carried with you anywhere and is perfect to do by yourself or with a group of friends!
