Fun Hobbies For When You’re Stuck At Home


We hope you’re staying safe, healthy, and virtually connected to your family and friends during this tough time. As we all seek to slow the spread of COVID-19, most of us will be staying home for an indefinite period of time. This can be especially challenging for those of us who live alone, or for active people who have trouble staying occupied inside. Perhaps you’re an introvert who prefers to be alone, and you’re enjoying this time! No matter where you land, you might be looking for hobbies to help you pass the time and keep you grounded and peaceful during this stressful season. Here are a few ideas:

Learn an Artistic Craft

In this day-and-age of YouTube, you don’t have to attend art class to learn a new craft. Drawing, painting, pottery, jewelry-making, and more are just a few artistic skills and hobbies you can try by yourself at home! Once you have the necessary materials, let your creativity fly, or watch one of those calming Bob Ross videos on YouTube.

Baking/Cooking

The recipes are free on the internet or you can pick up a cookbook at your nearest bookstore. Bake cookies, cakes, and muffins, or try out that new roasting rub you’ve been dying to taste.

Photography

Photography is a great way to see the world through a new perspective. Appreciate nature through a different lens. Setting up and using your own darkroom can be a relaxing and personal experience, so get out there and give it a try!

Scrapbooking

Whether you just got into photography and need a place to put your new pictures, or you’ve been wanting to collect all your memories in one place, scrapbooking is the perfect hobby for the sentimental person. Scrapbooking combines hobbies like collecting, art, and photography in a way that allows you to creatively and personally preserve your life. Scrapbooks also make great gifts, especially for those people you don’t get to see very often.

Take up Puzzling or Model-Building

Hobbies that require careful patience and the use of your hands can be quite stimulating and very calming. Let the mind sink into a place of focus and relaxation. Time can get away from you in hobbies like this, but the results are always satisfying. Glue and hang your puzzles like an art piece and paint your models to add a personal flair.

Hobbies That Can Benefit from a Rubber Stamp – Part 2

In our previous post, we talked about a few common hobbies that could benefit from the help of a rubber stamp. In this post, we’ll show how stamps can enrich a few other hobbies!

Board Games

Playing board games with friends is a fun and great hobby that can brighten up an evening or a weekend. If you’re an avid board game player, you’ve probably had a few ideas of your own. Don’t let your ideas stay as ideas – make a board game of your own! You can use materials around your house for the board and pieces. Design a game logo and use the Maxlight XL2-115 to stamp it on your board! Who knows… maybe you’ll invent the next great game, with a logo that will be unforgettable.

Genealogy

Whether exploring your ancestry is a new interest or longtime fascination, stamps are the perfect way to physically design and map out your family tree. Our lineage can get complicated and complex, but stamps can help you stay organized. A date stamp can help you quickly and easily mark out key dates, births, and deaths, while an Ultimark 3M- 8 Pre-Inked Stamp is the perfect way to help you keep track of which person belongs on which side of the family. A quick stamp in a certain color will help you mark relationships and key connections.

Origami

The art of paper folding has brought joy to people around the globe, young and old. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, origami takes practice, creativity, and imagination. The best part is that it’s for everyone! While experts might invest in special paper, it’s not necessary. Printer paper you have in your house will work just fine. If you want to spice it up, use the TRODAT 4642 Printy to stamp fun designs and phrases on your paper to bring a unique and personal touch to any of your origami creations!

Hobbies That Can Benefit from a Rubber Stamp – Part 1

Just about everyone has a hobby. Hobbies are a great way to enrich your personal life and self-satisfaction. They bring joy and purpose to our everyday lives. When our hobbies become tedious and frustrating, though, it can really put a damper on things. Here are a few hobbies that can benefit from rubber stamps so that you can enjoy your activities to the fullest!

Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is probably the most obvious hobby that could benefit from a few rubber stamps. Artistic and personal, stamps can enrich every page and bring color to all your memories. Lay out those borders and glue in your pictures, but save time by using the TRODAT 5030 Professional Dater to stamp the date on each page instead of writing it out by hand every time.

Collecting

Collecting is another common hobby. Whether you’re a collector of rocks, leaves, coins, pins, or something else, a rubber stamp can help you stay organized. Use stamps to label where you found your items, the date you found them, or any other category you find necessary to label. The best part is the TRODAT 9430 Mobile Printy Pocket Stamp is small and mobile, able to fit on your pocket or backpack, so you can stamp anywhere!

Sports

Whether you play sports or are just an avid fan, nothing gets you as riled up as your team winning. Don’t let a lost uniform, jersey, or shirt put a damper on your victory. A clothing marker stamp is a good way to mark every article of clothing as your own. Stamp your name and phone number on your hoodie, socks, or hat and you’ll never lose them or mix them up when they come out of the team wash again.

Your Hobbies Bring You Joy – Let Rubber Stamp Station Help You Make Them Even Better
