75 Fun Creative Hobbies to Try

1. Creative Writing

Creative writing is one of the easiest hobbies to start. All you need is a computer or paper and a pencil.

The coolest thing about this hobby is that when it comes to topics, there are so many to choose from!

If you don’t have a topic or know where to start, try creative writing prompts. Creative writing prompts will give you tons of interesting ideas, sure to spark your imagination. Here are two to try:

2. Write Poetry

Poetry is a specific form of creative writing, but more rhythmic or flowing. Poetry can be deeply personal but doesn’t have to be. It can rhyme or not rhyme. It’s up to you!

You most likely have the items you need, either a computer or paper and pencil. If youā€™re having difficulty starting, there are tons of excellent poetry prompts online as well as guides to help you learn the various forms of poetry.

3. Journaling

If you need a creative hobby where you can explore your inner self, journaling may be the perfect creative hobby for you.

Many people find journaling beneficial for self-discovery, self-awareness, and even manifestation. Journaling is known to help people achieve their goals, improve mental health, and improve important writing and communication skills.

If youā€™re looking to get into journaling but unsure where to start, journal prompts for your specific goals (self-discovery, self-awareness, manifestation, etc) can lead you on the right path. Since journaling is personal, there is no right or wrong way to journal.

You can always use some journal prompts to help you get started.

4. Art Journaling

Art journaling is a fun twist on our regular journaling. It involves journal writing plus incorporating various forms of art.

Instead of creating a record of your day or thoughts in words, you can create records through art.

An art journal can be scrapbooking-style, collage-style, drawing, painting, or any other form of art you choose. It can even be a combination of these things. This creative hobby is fun and an excellent form of self-expression. It may even help with the manifestation of your dreams through the words and images you use. You likely already have many of the supplies you need if you have a notebook and art supplies.

5. Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is a form of preserving memories through pictures, souvenirs, and art. It is similar to art journaling, but with a different intention.

For scrapbooking, you will take a blank book (notebooks work, but there are larger, special scrapbooks that handle the art aspect better) and add your memories to them over time.

You can add memories through photos, words, stickers, decorations, and even memorabilia from events. Special scrapbooking paper is fun to use as well.

The cool thing about scrapbooking is that it does not need to be in a book. It can be done in boxes or cards as well. However, scrapbooks in the form of books seem to help the storytelling aspect of scrapbooking.

6. Bullet Journaling

Many people will think bullet journaling is a form of an art journal. In a way it is, but a bullet journal is more of a planner instead of a journal. You can use your bullet journal for record-keeping or personal uses as you would a regular journal, but most bullet journals are primarily used for planning.

Bullet journals are based on a very basic system that works for many people. They are all about writing lists and organization. Once you have the basics down, you can add creative aspects. Many people use special bullet journal stickers but also incorporate art such as drawings or mixed media.

7. Blogging

Blogging is a bit more difficult to get into but can be quite profitable in the long term. All you need to begin is access to the internet. It’s very low cost to get started at around $3.95/month. (I recommend using Bluehost to start a blog for beginners.)

There is an initial learning curve, including setting up your blog and figuring out how to make it profitable. However, once you are past the beginning stages, you will find creating blog content is fun. Using your creative powers to make money is pretty awesome, in my opinion.

You’ll want to learn about search engine optimization and keyword research for maximum success. And once you get a following on your blog and social media, you will never run out of topics to write about based on your viewers’ questions and suggestions.

8. Website Design

If you consider yourself techy, website design may be an excellent creative hobby option for you!

Web design is planning and strategically placing content on a website. It’s very much related to blogging, but it’s really all about the design aspects of a site.

You can begin web design with free resources and courses, but if you decide later to make a profit in web design, you will likely need to make purchases for professional courses and programs. Web design can be a great career for creative people.

9. Creating Digital Art on Canva

There are many sources for creating digital art. One of the best free options is Canva.

Canva is excellent for beginners creating digital art (or printables or any other graphics!) and available on various devices including computers and phones. They provide many templates perfect for beginners.

I use Canva often for creating art and t-shirts to sell in both my Etsy shops.

10. Creating Digital Art on Procreate

Procreate is another platform for creating digital art, but is mostly focused on drawing using a special pen.

This can be a bit more difficult to get into since the app is quite complex. As well, you will need an iPad with a pen, and iPads are expensive. But, the app is cheap and Procreate is truly an awesome tool for artists and creative people. Procreate is an excellent option if you already have experience in drawing with pencil and paper and want to take your art to a new level.

I use and recommend the iPad Pro 12.9 inch. The 2018 model can be purchased used as a less expensive but still excellent option.

11. Photography

Photography is another form of art that is an easy creative hobby to try. Taking pictures is always fun!

Of course, photography has costs attached like buying a camera and having a computer to put the pictures on. However, when you are just starting, you can work on mastering photography with your phone. As you build your skills, you can eventually get a DSLR camera and work on your skills with more professional tools.

12. Photo Editing

If you think taking photos is a cool hobby, your favorite part of photography might just end up being editing!

You can practice photo editing using Canva for small adjustments, certain free apps, and of course Photoshop. There are many tutorials online for free, or you can always take courses to learn more.

You can learn to do anything from brightening or sharpening pictures to making all photos meet a specific theme or aesthetic. You can begin editing photos straight from your phone with the free Lightroom app. Then eventually progress to photos on your computer using the Photoshop app and other software.

13. Film Making

Similar to photography, filmmaking is another hobby that can be started from your phone and progressed to professional equipment if you choose.

Filming can be as simple as a ā€œday in the life vlogā€ to instructional videos on whatever you choose. You can make movies, tutorials, and so much more. Playing around with various video styles will allow you to find your preference.

14. Film Editing

As with progressing from photography to photo editing, you may find your favorite part of filming isnā€™t the filming, but the editing. When focusing on film editing, you can make ā€œbest ofā€ using videos already created. Or even offer film editing as a service you provide other creators! Turn this cool creative hobby into a business if you so choose.

15. Drawing

Similar to the various forms of writing, drawing has many forms and is a very easy hobby to start. All you need is some paper and a pencil.

As you progress in drawing, you can begin adding color to your pictures and increasing the details in your artwork. If you like, there are many cool art books with tutorials available from places like Amazon or your local library. And of course, zillions of free resources online can be found with a quick Google search.

16. Coloring Books

Adult coloring is an easy creative hobby anyone can do. All you need is a coloring book and colored pencils. Other drawing tools can be used, but due to the details in most adult coloring books, colored pencils may be the easiest to work with.

Many people find coloring to be therapeutic. Coloring is an easy way to reduce stress and get better at art in the process. It helps your mind focus and unwind.

17. Painting with Acrylics

Acrylic paint is a fun, inexpensive, and accessible option for beginner painters.

Acrylics are versatile, cheap, easy to use, and have the ability to be used in a wide variety of ways and on many different surfaces.

All you need to start painting with acrylics is the paint itself, a brush or two, and something to paint on. An acrylic paint kit is helpful.

Think outside the box on what that something is, if you feel so inclined. Try painting with acrylics on paper, wood, stone, or ceramic. Painting can be a cool and relaxing activity that may become your new favorite hobby if you allow yourself time to practice without trying to be perfect about it.

7

18. Painting with Watercolor

Another good beginner paint to try is watercolor paint.

Due to the nature of watercolors, they are super fun for blending and mixing. Make them flow together and watch them morph in interesting and unusual ways. Watercolor paints sometimes have a mind of their own!

Watercolor paints are ideal for those looking to do some landscape or nature painting especially. But they can be used for many other cool art projects as well.

19. Oil Painting

Oil painting is a fun creative hobby to try in addition to the two painting mediums mentioned above.

Oil paints take longer to dry than acrylics, giving them a different feel when it comes to blending colors. Many people consider oil paints easier to use than watercolors.

Instead of being used on paper, oil paints are most commonly painted on canvas and sometimes on wood panels as well. Once you get the basic steps down, oil painting may become your new favorite hobby.

20. Calligraphy

Calligraphy is an artistic form of writing done with special pens or ink brushes. This creative hobby can be fun, relaxing, and soothing. You can write quotes, poems, sayings, and more. Design cards, invitations, and home decor just to name a few ideas. Calligraphy is excellent for artistic expression and you can also sell what you make!

21. Hand Lettering

Hand lettering is a variation of drawing, where instead of drawing images, you draw letters in any style. This differs from calligraphy, which is writing with special pressure-sensitive tools to make the thicker and thinner parts of the writing.

For learning hand lettering, use any pens or pencils you choose. You can also use the app Procreate, so long as you have the special stylist pen for your iPad as well. Hand lettering is the perfect creative hobby for those who enjoy fancy writing and trying different drawing techniques. Hand lettering is an excellent element to add to your art journal or bullet journaling, too.

22. Frosting Decorating on Cakes and Cookies

Cake or cookie decorating is an excellent creative hobby for those who enjoy treats (or have family members who enjoy treats!)

Frosting decorating can be super easy to begin as a hobby, and not very expensive. Make flowers, people, animals, plants, and more out of colorful yummy frosting!

If you enjoy hand lettering, cookies and cakes are a great place for your hand lettering practice. The techniques of adding letters to your cakes or cookies will be slightly different than as pen on paper as frosting has its own “feel.” And unlike designs on paper, you get to eat your frosting creation.

23. Baking

Baking is another hobby that can be a great activity for those who enjoy treats. You can experiment with different flavors, shapes, colors, and textures. Make muffins, cakes, bread, and so much more. Even if you’re gluten-free or grain-free like me you can learn to bake. There are many healthy and delicious options for ingredients.

24. Candle Making

Candle-making is a fun old-fashioned hobby that can be rewarding. Give your candles as gifts, sell them on Etsy, or simply enjoy their luminance. You can also add essential oils and fill your home with your favorite scents.

Candle-making is an easy hobby to start. There are many candle-making kits you can play with to get the basics down. Then progress to making more artistic candles in the future.

25. Soap Making

Soap making is an excellent option as a hobby for those looking to eliminate chemicals and toxins in their home. There are many soap-making kits available to get you started with all the supplies you need.

Soap making is a rather simple process that has become easier and more accessible over time. It is a great option for getting the entire family involved in a fun hobby. And you can save money over time by making your soap instead of purchasing soap!

26. Sculpting

Sculpting is a great option if you want to express your creativity in the form of 3D creations.

There are many options for sculpture materials, but one of the most popular (and inexpensive or free) options is clay. Clay is especially great for beginners as it’s easy and cheap to buy But you can also get clay for free in some necks of the woods. In fact, foraging for clay might be a really cool activity if you live near a stream or river.

Clay can be shaped into many forms and make practical objects as well such as mugs or jewelry. Once dried, you can easily paint clay.

Some other options for sculpture materials include wood, found objects, fimo dough, or recycling materials (trash to treasure!)

27. Pottery

Pottery is another great option for those who are looking to make a 3D or useful item. The best way to start this hobby would be to take classes in your area.Ā  That way you can learn all about the pottery-making process and work with the materials hands-on.

Pottery making, like other forms of sculpture, is extremely satisfying for those who enjoy working with their hands. it is grounding and relaxing.

You don’t necessarily need a bunch of expensive power tools, and in fact, many tools can easily and inexpensively be thrifted from old antique stores.

31. Metalworking

Metalwork or welding are hobbies that should be started either through a class or practicing with someone experienced. The tools can be expensive and dangerous, but if you like the idea of working with metal and fire, don’t let that stop you!

You can also work with metal on a smaller scale, such as by making jewelry. Bezel-setting stones in silver for a pendant or ring, for instance.
