12 Easy Creative Projects to Enjoy this Winter

Here we go, 12 Creative Projects Anyone Can Do this Winter

Vision Board for Current Goals

Vision boards are an excellent outlet for both your creative and practical selves.

These may be crafted for any goal you can think of; health, dream homes, wardrobe, career…the possibilities are endless.

You can do a digital vision board but I personally prefer a good old fashioned collage making kind of vision board with pictures cut from magazines or printed out. Lol, colour me old school.

Begin a Recipe Book

Whether you write your own recipes or have a collection of favourites from your go to food bloggers, start organizing them!

Again this could be a digital book or you can buy a pretty notebook and hand write all of your favourites in it. Utilize different colours, fonts, and photos to really get your creative juices flowing!

Start a Grimoire or Book of Shadows

This magickal tool is really priceless for a budding or advanced practitioner of the craft.

This book can house all of your spells and rituals along with information on herbs, oils, crystals, the wheel of the year, deities, and so much more!

You could also have two books, a grimoire and a book of shadows. One for all of your spell work (BOS) and the other to house all of your knowledge of the craft (grimoire). These books will be home to everything that makes your practice unique to you. I prefer just one book for everything but the choice is yours!

If you need some inspiration, ideas, or printable reference guides to get you SHOP PAGE HERE or visit my ETSY SHOP HERE. I have many single pages and collection bundles that are pretty, printable, and ready to be inserted into your physical or digital grimoire. Or simply have a peek if you need some inspiration for getting yours started.

Put Together Photo Albums

Yes, I mean actual physical photo albums, not just a place on your phone that houses all of your selfies.

Print actual pictures and organize them in albums that you can flip through whenever the mood strikes.

Organize them by years, or themes, or big life events, whatever your heart desires!

Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is so much fun! You can start one on anything from your dream wedding, to your kids, or even your favourite tv show. Seriously anything lol.

Add photos, quotes, stickers, pressed flowers or leaves, ribbon, glitter, whatever strikes your fancy.

Make Playlists For The Many Faces of You

I don’t know about you but what I am listening to at any given moment is heavily dictated by my mood and how I am feeling.

It’s such fun to go through Spotify or your music library and make different playlists for yourself. One for when you are happy, sad, mad, in love, out of love, music just for road trips or whatever other reasons you can think of.

Then the next time you just need those songs to soothe your soul or get you excited those playlists will be ready to go.

What Kind of DIY Person Are You?

Now you may not fancy yourself a do it yourself kind of individual but you may just surprise yourself.

There are so many things that we go out and buy that we can easily make ourselves with a few simple tools.

Now I am not saying you need to re-purpose your old dresser into some grand new masterpiece, unless of course that’s your jam. Then by all means have fun!

Really though, there are tons ways to create things for ourselves. You could mix up your own body sprays, cleaning products, potpourri, or the next time some special event comes along your could bake a cake yourself instead of buying one.

I believe there are DIY projects for everyone out there. Ones that will likely make you happy and save you money at the same time. Brainstorm some ideas and check out Pinterest for a ton of DIY inspiration for literally anything you can come up with.

Spruce up Your Living Space

Give your home a makeover!

Or even just a room. In the winter we spend much more time at home than during the other seasons. Take advantage of it and give your space a little facelift.

It need not be extravagant and you don’t need to get all new furniture. You could simply re-arrange your bedroom or give your kitchen a fresh coat of paint, change your curtains or get new throw pillow covers.

Choose just one room and use your imagination. What would your dream bedroom look like?

Embrace Your Inner Child and Colour

Colour therapy was big a couple of years back and colouring books were absolutely everywhere!

Well it need not be on trend for you to pick up a book, some coloured pencils and go crazy.

Colouring is proven to help relieve stress and ease the mind. Not ot mention is an awesome artistic outlet for those of us that are not natural born drawers or painters. Ahem, I can hardly draw a stick figure lol, but I adore colouring.

Paint by Numbers

Similar to colouring but maybe you prefer a paint medium instead.

Paint by numbers is such a fun project for those of us that have the desire to paint but need some guidance.

Puzzles

Do people still do puzzles? Well they should!

Puzzles get your brain thinking and all the while you are creating a beautiful image as the end product. Also, great for stress relief.

Lastly, Creative Project #12, Craft Herb Pouches or Witch Jars

If you want a creative outlet that also gets your magickal side engaged herb pouches and witch jars are just the thing!

All you require are some little organza bags, glass jars, and of course the ingredients to fill them with depending on your goals.

You can craft these for better sleep, success, wealth, health, confidence, setting new intentions and so much more! These are truly some of my favourite witchy endeavours to engage in.

I did a solstice ritual that included a witch jar.  You may view HERE if you want to have a peek and get a better idea of the process.

Which Creative Project Will You Jump Into?

So you see, there are so many creative endeavours out there for everyone to engage in, even if you don’t consider yourself much of a creative person.

We all have a creative side, however big or small, that needs to be embraced and nurtured.

Have a look through the list again, poke around Pinterest, and see which idea calls out to you the most. Then set out on a quest to get any necessary materials and allow that right side of your brain to let loose!

Most of all, have fun, relax, and allow yourself the time to delve into projects such as these. They are just as important as cleaning your house or organizing your finances. Let’s remember a little self-care this winter.

Until next time friends!
