How not to be bored: Craft edition

-



Are your hands always itching to do something creative? But when you have the time to do so, do you

find yourself stuck? as in you have no idea what to do?... Well, you have come to the right place. I’m

going to give some tips to erase your boredom and draw your creativity.


  1.  Just sit and recall all the things you wanted to try out. Research on them and draw or craft away.

  2. For example, if you saw something on Pinterest, visit the pin you had saved for later and try that

  3. out now.


1.1. Youtube is great when you want to try something new. You can find a bunch of tutorials.


1.2. You can even find short tutorials for arts and crafts on Pinterest. Pinterest is really good for

inspiration and practice. You can find millions of reference photos to draw from.



  1. If you have some random supplies lying around, you can use your creativity to use that supply in

  2. different ways. Even trying to use waste paper or fabric is good.


  1. I love to fill my art journal whenever I get time. Here’s a guide to making an art journal:



  1. I also love to look up bullet journal spreads and try them out. Oddly enough I have a guide for a

  2. bullet journal as well.


  1. If you're anything like me and are building your stationery collection, you may find yourself buying

  2. some products and just stashing them in random places. Well, STOP. Go and put all the stationery

  3. you own in a nice and easily reachable manner. I have a box that I use to store all art, craft, and

  4. stationery supplies.


  5. If you love to collect stationery and craft supplies like me, go on Amazon or any other shopping site

  6. and wish to list your favorite supplies.

6.1. I cannot emphasize how much I love finding new stationery websites. Unfortunately, the ones

found are usually based in foreign countries, so the shipping cost is expensive. I always dream

to buy them after growing up myself.


6.2. But that doesn't mean you cannot browse a hundred websites and wishlist stuff. I like to

copy-paste the links of my favorite supplies in a notepad. Some of my personal favorite sites are:

It has a WIDE variety of stationery and craft supplies to browse

It has a ton of aesthetic vintage stationery, dried flower stickers, and the products on this

site is just so aesthetic

She designs a lot of quirky notebooks, stickers, etc.

They have a SUPER WIDE variety of stationery. They have art supplies to craft supplies

and ergonomic stationery to fun and quirky stationery. They also have a youtube channel stating various uses for their products.


There are a million things to do when you’re bored, these are just some things I like to do. If you love

Marks

  Bad Morning. It’s time to dress up. Drag yourself to the bathroom. Wear that hideous and ill-fitting uniform. Pack your bag. Head out with Ma. It’s result day. Every atom of your body is nervous. Your mind is only revolving around the worst-case scenarios. “Did I perform well enough in History?” “What if I fail, and Neha passes? Or worse- she is the topper and I missed it by a mark?” “Why can’t my papers just disappear?”   Hello, and welcome to the nightmare of every Indian teenager ever! That was my situation on Saturday. Result Days are always nerve-racking experiences. It’s the same kind of anxiety you get on the day of the exam, except that this one has wilder fantasies. Why is that so? Because marks are a dominating factor in an Indian’s lifetime. The numbers determine your future. Your value is lies within those numbers.  Now, when you look at it from an Indian Aunty’s perspective, this system sounds quite fair. The able ones go ahead, get what they deserve, beca...

Bharatanatyam

  Photo Credits There are many forms of art. Like drawing, painting, dancing, and many more. Talking about dancing, which also has many types, the one I most enjoy is Bharatanatyam. I began Bharatnatyam almost 5 years ago. When I started It was a brand new concept to me. I was really eager to learn it all and get it right. I love to attend dance classes. Even during the pandemic the dance academy, I have joined, is taking classes online. I once asked 2 or 3 schoolmates if they danced or not, 1 of them did but she told me she got bored after six months. There I was thinking about how could a person get bored of such a beautiful dance form. I mean everyone has their opinions, I agree, but I always used to question that. Anyway, the first 2-3 years of Bharatnatyam are spent learning the basic steps which are going to help build the steps for the dance items we learn (I don't know if this is true for all dance academies but this is how I am learning). Then after that, we learn the basi...

Exam Season

E xam. What do I tell you about it? The moment I hear the word exams I can feel all the previous classes’ exams rushing around in my head. The nervousness, the books, the learning, in short, the EVERYTHING. The “Exam Season” here is the month of September and October. But the nervousness starts the moment we receive the scary-looking exam timetable. My Mid-term exams ended just last week, and trust me when I tell you, it was tiring, it always is. You think you would get a break after it, but unfortunately, I have classes till Diwali.  Exams are almost always stressful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tackle them with ease. I am a fairly good student in terms of studying, but I still struggle (everyone does, trust me). I am currently in class 9th and honestly, after the 25% reduced syllabus of class 8, the full syllabus for class 9 seems A LOT.  In this blog, I will be giving you some tips on how to tackle this exam season and tell you some stuff I learned from the recent exam ...
