Happy New Year fellow crafters.
What are the new trends in crafts for 2025? Well, those in the know say that this year will be all about reclaimed, recycled and reused craft materials. Instead of buying new, buy second hand and re-purpose fabric, yarn, buttons, beads and all sorts of things.
Crazy quilting is going to be big. Using Scraps of fabric, sewn together to make a usable new piece. Thus ideal for making smaller fabric projects like bags and cushions. You can use small pieces to patch and embellish existing clothing. You can even embellish your fabric with beads and embroidery.
Yarn from fabric? Yes, you can. Thin straps of fabric, twisted and sewn over can be used to make mats, coasters and even rugs.
Eco friendly tools and materials will also be popular. Paints and dyes made from natural materials and plants, craft tools made from bamboo, there will be lots of choices.
Paper crafts using recycled and reclaimed paper are popular for decorating the home. Use paper reclaimed from packaging, envelopes, magazine and newspapers for origami and kirigami projects yo decorate your home. Papier mache can be used to make sculptures and containers with a practical purpose.
Simple to make, papier mache is literally made from rubbish!
Macrame became very popular last year and continues to rise in popularity, why not save all your it’s of string and yarn to make useful Macrame items.
Whatever your craft skills, try something new in 2025
