i love to knit, it is very relaxing
Mine is doing hand embroidery.
I paint to relieve my stress!
I crochet or make beaded Christmas ornaments.
Crocheting hearts for the Peyton Heart Project is purposeful and calming.
I think my favorite de-stresser is crocheting hats for the homeless. I have a pattern that requires a little yarn, a crochet hook, and then sit back and just relax for a while.
Mostly coloring, but also plastic canvas, cross-stitch card making

Crochet is my favorite de-stresser. I recently learned to do loom knitting so I could teach it to my granddaughter, and I find loom knitting quite relaxing as well.
Hand embroidery and reading , away from TV, is a very relaxing.
My favorite de-stressing craft is coloring in coloring books. My favorites are later used to decorate my dorm room. At times doodling too. This would be the best Christmas present if I win.
card making and coloring are 2 of many favorite de’stressors.

I color all day every day to de-stress from the stress of college
I don’t really do crafts but I do love to color and I also love to take photos while out in nature.
Knitting is my favorite de-stressing craft. Coloring & embroidery are also favorites.
I love to find the time to make stained glass projects. My husband and I need to get back to tjis relaxing hobby.
I love to paint…anything. But, last year my daughter gave me a coloring book, so now when I don’t have time to set up a canvas…I color. Whoever thought?
I love making cards and coloring with many colors are my things to do.
I took up colouring about a year ago. I fussed over selecting a book I could use the images of later in my scrapbooks. My husband bought me some Prismacolour Premiere pencils for Christmas, and I started to colour. Slowly I caught the bug. I found digital images online to colour, bought stamps to colour, bought markers to colour with and found my colouring improving. Now I colour daily and I bring images with me to colour when I go to appointments at the mechanics, the dentists, wherever. Colouring really is de-stressing for me. I am under doctor’s care for anxiety and I know when I have my colouring things with me I won’t even notice people around me I’ll be so lost in the colours.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! My favorite de-stressing craft is coloring. I know, that seems like the perfect answer for today’s contest, but it’s true. My 6 year old daughter also likes to color with me. She is very talented and can color some of the most intricate pictures with my help. Coloring is a craft that we enjoy doing together, but sometimes I will color on my own just to be by myself and de-stress.
Being Retired sometimes you get lonely and this passes the time, I get together at the local senior center and all us oldies sit for hours coloring and chatting. Coloring takes away the hours of stress and anyone can do it. It also helps with the aging mind. Love it.

My favorite de-stressed now is adult coloring books. It use to be crafting but when the deep depression sets in, I stop doing the crafting for long periods of time. It’s the coloring books it keeps my mind concentrated solely on the coloring book. Keeps me calm and stress free.
