Top 10 Reasons Everyone Should Make Their Own Beautiful Things

This is my list of the reasons that everyone should try their hand at some kind of art, be it painting, sculpture, sewing, knitting, crocheting, writing, singing, dancing, or anything else.

10. IT'S FUN!

9. Things you make are inevitably much cuter than things a machine made.

8. It forces you to go outside your comfort zone. If you only make what you know how to make you're not going to grow.

7. Creativity is very important in many aspects of life. Creating art and other beautiful things is a great way to exercise your creative muscles.

6. It is WAY cheaper than buying expensive commercial items.

5. It's a great way to relax, de-stress, and take some you time. Art is calming and rejuvenating.

4. They make the BEST gifts! No commercially, mass produced item could ever say "I care" like something you've spent some time and creativity on.

3. What a great way to be green! Reuse, re-vision, and remake old and worn out things in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

2. It allows you to express your emotions. Feeling angry? Let it out in your work! Now you've really found a way to positively channel feelings both good and bad.

1. You may see beauty where no one else does. Show the world what is beautiful to you!

Peace.
