Learning a new skill can be a great way to spend time at home. Whether it's learning how to quilt by hand, how to make flowers from felt or even some paper collage art, crafting engages the mind and helps keep your focus. You can upcycle old vinyl records, create some paper plant pot holders - the only limit is your imagination!
Old olive pails make attractive and practical garden planters, having the advantage of ready-made drainage holes, and they're large enough to accommodate several plants.
Making dipped candles can become quite addictive. Dipping the wicks over and over so that the candles grow before your eyes is a magical process and creates beautifully imperfect candles that have a real handmade charm.
You may not have room for a collection of fully grown conifer trees in your garden, but a mini conifer patch is a sweet addition. Choose plants in different shades and heights and plant in a tray, giving the roots space to grow outward.
