Most of us are stuck at home right now and boredom has set in. I’m one of those people that always has to be doing something and if you are too, I see you. I feel you and I get how it’s hard to stay home with nothing to do. A lot of us also have less income than we normally would. But those of us that have less are far more lucky than those who have no income coming in right now. If you’re here it’s because you’re crafty and crafty people are happy when they get to make things. Today I’m sharing some projects I love, being mindful to share projects that are relatively inexpensive.

So today I’m sharing a whole mess of my favorite craft projects that in my estimation cost less than $15 to make. Honestly, a lot of them aren’t even going to run you $10 but there were a few good projects that I really, really wanted to share. So are you ready to check out all of these lovely cheap crafts that won’t bore adults and also won’t cost you over $15 each?
