A THREAD of arts & useful activities you can do during MCO!
Since I like to use my spare time to engage with my hobbies & interests (i have a lot of them
), I think itāll be good to share so that you guys can try too. Who knows you may discover new talent/interest kan.

1. Painting! One of my fav hobbies! I usually use acrylic for my paintings.
You can get all the supplies from art shop - including online shops. Start small (from paper to small canvas). Then practice to paint on a bigger canvas. Canvas yg kecik tu kalau kat daiso pun ada.

2. Sketching/drawing. Maybe some of you lagi prefer guna pencil/pen. & the materials are easier to get. P/S: am not very good with this, i do it to kill time
3. Cross-stitch! Itās veeeryyy good to build patience and focus. Plus, it may take some time to complete, so boleh jdkan a whole week project (or few days kalau rajin). Boleh dapat supplies dekat art shop jugak & online shops! Kalau takde template, I selalu refer pixelated images
4. Gardening (terrariums)! Veeeryyy satisfying! You need to try and feel it. Research also shows gardening can help with good mental health. Since tgh MCO, takleh gi nursery, korang boleh je re-arrange cactus/succulents yg ada into a bigger pot & then tambah accessories/figurines
5. Sewing! Siapa yg ada mesin jahit, boleh try jahit benda kecik kecik dulu macam sarung bantal & pencil box (xde mesin pun boleh), then practice jahit yg lagi challenging. Guna je kain lama yg tak pakai for practice. I used kain batik to sew the baju & old jeans for the bag.
6. Carpentry/building projects! This one pun best, basically you guys recycle balik barang yg ada kat rumah and turn them into something new. Make a plan, gather resources, then build it! Boleh jdkan a few days project! I made cat houses using old boxes (left)
7. Bead arts! Supplies; beads, base boleh dapat kat art shops jugak. Online pun ada. Ikea pun ada jual satu set. Senang je buat, susun beads ikut corak yg you nak atas base, then iron bagi leper/melt sikit. Instruction selalunya dtg skali dgn set. Boleh bagi as cute present too!
8. Baking! Iām sure ramai suka bake. Letās try more recipes during this MCO. Kalau yg tak pernah bake, ni lah masanya nak try. Start bake recipe yg simple simple dulu- build your interest & motivation, then try bake yg susah sikit (terguna prinsip psychology pulak
)
)
9. Cooking! Sama macam baking, start cooking simple recipe first. Try variety of recipe: melayu, indo, western, kuih. This is so satisfying, sebab dapat kenyangkan perut gak huhu. You can also try to make bento! I made the bento using simple ingredients: seaweed, sosej, carrots
