Going Abstract
Are you not much of a painter? Do not worry! This craft does not require years of experience in painting. All you need to do is trust your guts when pouring the paint and mixing different colors onto paper, wood, canvas, glass, tile, stones or it can be as mundane as a cellphone case or blank hand fan. The acrylic paint that you will use depends on your mood and style. You can include bottles of pastels, neons, metallics, and even primary colors. All you need to do is to drop the paint into a cup or directly onto the surface of your choice. What’s good about this craft is that there will be no two artworks that will yield the same look and results. All crafts will be unique and that would be your selling point.
The Comeback of Macramé Movement

And what better way to reminisce than to actually make a craft out of this feeling. Print out your photos of your travels or special occasions.
