Cake Making and Decorating

This is possibly one of the most versatile crafts you can do. If you are able, you can make pretty much anything your imagination will allow you. You can create cakes for every holiday, every festivity, every party you can imagine. You can make it pretty, or funny, or scary, or whatever. You can use different mediums like fondant, royal icing, and frosting. You can make chocolate cakes or vanilla cakes or marble cakes. You can make wedding cakes, and if you are good at making cakes, you can get paid for them. (you can especially make a lot of money from wedding cakes because they are typically pretty expensive to buy and they take a lot of work to accomplish.) I've really only tried to make and decorate a cake once. I did pretty good considering it was my first try but don't expect your first cake to come out looking like a masterpiece. Cake making and decorating is a fun and rewarding hobby but it does take some practice.

Sewing

Although I do not really know how to sew, I know from watching my grandma and helping her a little bit that it is an extremely fun, mind challenging and therapeutic activity to engage in. When you finish a piece or an outfit, you get the good feeling that you've just made something. You also get to save a lot of money by making your own clothes or other items and you can have fun at the same time. The reason I like sewing so much (although I'm not good at it and really have only made anything by trial and error) is that for me it was always a time to bond with my grandma. I would always watch her in her sewing room, and when she made something I got to see her finish it. My grandmother also used her sewing hobby to create family heirlooms for her grandchildren. Each one of us got a handsewn quilt with little animals on it. I still have mine and I intend to keep it forever. That's what's so cool about these types of hobbies (i.e. sewing, quilting, knitting, or whatever)...You can have fun and enjoy yourself but also create memories and sentimental things for others as well.

Walking

Now walking probably doesn't sound like a very interesting hobby or passtime, but you may be surprised at just how enjoyable it can be. When I go for a walk, I have a set path that I go on. I put blast my headphones, get comfortable, and just start walking. I find that sometimes this helps me clear my mind, while other times I just daydream. I also find that it helps relax me and relieves stress, calms me down if I am upset about something, gives me some me time,and of course, gives me exercise. If you haven't taken many walks just for fun, you should definitely give it a try. You can keep the same route everytime, or just start walking and turn down streets you've never been on before. You can bring a friend with you if you like. I prefer to walk alone. (only in the daytime though, it can be dangerous to walk alone at night, especially with headphones on.)

Crocheting

Crocheting is a very therapeutic and relaxing hobby. It is also a great stress reliever and mind clearing thing to do. It is pretty easy for a person to learn and the things that can be crocheted range from simple to exquisite. All you need to crochet is a ball or schene of yarn and a crochet hook, which come in many different sizes. You can crochet left or right handed, and you can make things like stuffed animals, blankets, sweaters, potholders, scarves and hats, and pretty much anything else you can think of to make. If you are looking to learn how to crochet, try searching online for the basics as well as free patterns and ideas for cool things you can make, or go to your local craft store where you can probably find an entire section dedicated to the craft of crocheting.

Airsoft Guns

Airsoft guns are an excellent way to get an adrenaline rush and have a lot of fun by yourself or with friends. You can shoot cans or clay and homemade targets, or if you have the proper safety gear, you can have a shootout with friends. Airsoft guns are spring loaded guns that use tiny little round plastic "bullets". They hurt a little bit if you get shot with them but as long as you stay away from the face are pretty safe, other than the little welts you will get on your body for a day or two. They come in a variety of different models such as colt, shotgun, or even an uzi. You can get them at places like sporting goods stores or any place with a sporting goods section, and prices range from as low as $10 or $15 to as much as $100 or more. There are only a couple of warnings that go along with airsoft guns. One, have the proper safety equipment (mainly safety goggles) and be aware that many airsoft guns look pretty realistic and should you find yourself flashing them where you shouldn't, people or police may mistake them for the real thing.
