Crafting as a De-Stressor During the Holidays

This is one of favor sketch art.

Undated monthly planner.

The holidays are beautiful, but let’s be honest, they can also be a lot. The schedules get full, the expectations pile high, and sometimes the noise of the season gets heavier than the joy. That’s exactly why crafting has become my sacred escape, my moment of peace, and my way to breathe again.

As the founder and creative force behind 2 Creative Being Kreations, creativity isn’t just something I do, it’s part of who I am. It’s the gift God placed in my hands, and I honor it every time I sit down to design, cut, create personalized gifts or assemble something from the heart. Crafting slows me down. It re-centers me. It reminds me that even in the busiest seasons, I can still choose to be calm.

This time of year, I especially lean into DIY creations. There’s something powerful about making something beautiful with intention, knowing exactly who it’s for, imagining their smile, and pouring love into every fold, bead, or brushstroke. My family and close friends know how much I cherish them, and creating handmade gifts gives me a way to express that in a way store-bought items simply can’t match.

When my hands are moving, my mind settles. When I create, I heal. When I craft, I give thanks.

I am truly grateful for the creative gifts God placed inside me. Grateful that I can turn a moment of stress into something meaningful. Grateful that the work of my hands becomes joy for the people I love most. In a world that moves fast, especially during the holiday season, crafting gives me permission to slow down and savor the moment.

So whether you’re a seasoned crafter or someone curious about DIY, I encourage you to make space this holiday season for a little creativity. You never know your next craft might be the calm your spirit has been needing.

Create with purpose. Create with love. Create with peace.  That’s the heart of 2 Creative Being Kreations.
