Craft Your Own Happy: A collection of 25 creative projects to craft your way to mindfulness (Crafts)

What a lovely book . Full of wonderful crafting ideas that even a novice can achieve.Very clear instructions and beautiful pictures.The author gives an honest and open account of her own mental health and how crafting has helped with her anxiety.This makes it a very refreshing read .And comforting in these Covid times .

The seller was excellent, and took great care in packaging so that the book wasn't delivered in transit. The book is a gift, so this attention to detail was appreciated. I would recommend the seller and the book and I'm sure the recipient will love it.

Brilliant book, ideal for beginner or intermediate crofters who like the idea of mindfulprojects, with colourful straightforward instructions. Can highly recommend 😀

My daughter had given a copy of this to a friend, and recommended it to me when I was looking for a birthday gift for a member of the family. Both recipients were very happy with their gifts.

Lovely items to complete

"Craft Your Own Happy" is full of quirky, simple, and fun projects to help you relax and forget (for a while) how completely crappy life can be. I'm not sure I would actually make any of the projects, but it has given me ideas for my own! The most important thing I've learned from this is that crafting is about the process and not so much the end result. As long as you enjoy yourself and are happy with what you make, then it's no one else's business! Might I suggest a follow-up book called "Just Craft It"?!My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advance copy to review. This review is entirely my own, unbiased, opinion.

I love a book that crosses talking about mental health and well-being with practical ways of caring for them. This is more than just a craft book, although the crafts are gorgeous and quirky there is also reasoning behind the makes and how they assist in practicing “Mindfulness”. The introduction gives a brief description of how the projects can help calm an anxious mind. The projects themselves are of varying difficulty levels- I especially enjoyed the look of the cross stitches (even though I have never done one before! Shock horror) , the pressed flower phone case and the Pom Pom foot stool (currently browsing Amazon for a Pom Pom maker). After beginning to make the Yarn Wall Hanging I can say that the directions are simple and easy to follow and I loved the pictures throughout the book.I cannot wait to buy this book for a wonderful friend who I think will love it (and really benefit from it ) too.

Craft Your Own Happy was a super book. Its full of great projects that you can do at home that will definately make you happy.I really enjoyed reading this book and have come away with lots of new creative ideas to get making. The instructions were easy to follow and the photography is excellent as well.
