Art can be an expensive hobby but by slowly adding new tools this can change your hobby into a money making venture. Turning a simple idea into a hobby means exploring all options and finding something that you really enjoy and can expand on as you grow.
I already have a blog dedicated to art that includes drawings, photography, writings, ideas and how to draw on http://anunknownwriterartistandphotographer.blogspot.com/. I will add any new information about different hobbies that involve art both sites. We are in the brainstorming stages of this new blog so stay tuned for more.
Since crafts include anything from woodworking to crafts for children we will explore some individual crafts that can be turned into a hobby that you can expand on. Sometimes it is better to purchase a specific craft from a store that you want to learn initially to give you an idea of how to do it and get some of the tools you will need.
If it is something you enjoy then let your imagination go and get your creative juices flowing. Going beyond the box directions is how you take a simple craft and turn it into your hobby. A less expensive way of finding a craft is to purchase a large book of many ideas so you can zone in until you find something that will interest you.
The Big-Ass Book of Crafts
is a great way to start so you do not waste a lot of money on something you cannot expand into a hobby. Doing a paint by number picture is just a craft that could stop unless you feel that painting was fun and want to take it to the next level and paint your own picture with the leftover paints. This is when a simple craft could help you find a hobby or niche. It is not how well you paint but if you enjoy doing it.
