Creative Hobbies, Arts and Crafts for Adults: A Complete Guide for 2022

By Iva Mikles •  Last Updated: Feb 07, 2023 •  Guides • Artists' Guides

To get you inspired, in this article, you will find the most exhaustive list of creative hobbies, arts and crafts for adults. Have fun exploring and happy crafting!

Table of Contents

I get asked a lot about what kinds of creative hobbies adults can do at home. Of course I’ve heard this question a lot more in the last couple of years, with people spending more and more time at their houses, but really for years now all kinds of arts and crafts activities have been really on the rise in popularity, and the idea of doing something creative at home is really attractive to so many different people.

While I love to write in-depth about lots of different creative hobbies and crafting activities, really getting into specific instructions, tips and techniques, project ideas and inspirations, today I am going to approach it from a different angle, with an exhaustive listicle of all of the different creative hobbies I know, and only very short explanations of what each is.

And I mean really, really exhaustive – I aimed to have the most complete list of creative hobbies, arts and crafts available on the web, and at last count have reached 150+ individual entries, and, with different forms, focuses, variations and techniques, even way more!

This long listicle of creative hobbies should appeal to anybody who:

How Is This Complete List of Creative Hobbies, Arts and Crafts Organized?

I originally thought I’d put the many, many arts and crafts listed below into some main categories, like:

…but that didn’t really work out so well for me. Turns out that when I tried to organize all the different crafts I could pretty quickly see that this or that particular craft might use either or both paper and fabric, or might involve both a computer and physical stuff. 

And so I ended up just listing them all out alphabetically, from A to Z. There are some larger groupings with a few subsets underneath, in bullet form, like Body Art, which includes body painting, henna and temporary tattoos as sub-headings, or fabric art, which includes something like 18 sub-categories. Digital art, food art, music and paper arts are other categories with a lot of sub-listings bulleted below the main entry.

But mostly they are alphabetical, and one by one and if you are looking for a specific craft – like ice sculpting – it may be easiest to simply search the page (ctrl-F for most Windows browsers and cmd-F for Apple) and type in “ice sculpting” – or, as a little tip, “ice sculpt” which will lead to sculpting, sculpture or sculptor. Or, I guess, sculpin, a bottom dwelling fish which has absolutely nothing to do with our list…

What Types of Arts, Crafts and Creative Hobbies are Included on the List?

One more quick note before we get into it, about what I did and didn’t include. I had also originally intended to include only things that are in the realm of more traditional crafting – that is, creative projects for which you use not just your imagination, but your hands and some tools and materials as well. 

Then I realized that this could technically include creative writing, with hand firmly grasping pen, but would exclude dancing and singing – both noble and very creative hobbies. Well this seemed a bit arbitrary, and even unfair, and so in the end I decided to just throw them all in! 

Now to be sure, even though I’ve devoted much of my life trying and practicing all different kinds of creative crafts, I’ve almost certainly forgotten or neglected some pretty important, fun and rewarding ones – so please let me know!

After the list, at the end of this article, I will answer some frequently asked questions about the different kinds of creative hobbies and arts and crafts activities, but first I proudly present Art Side of Life’s list of 151 great creative hobbies for adults – not to mention children and even inner children!

There are literally hundreds of types of photography, but here are some of the most popular:

Black and White Photography – the use of black and white (not color) film and/or print paper in any kind of photography, which often forces the photographer to concentrate on other aspects of the art, like light and shadow, composition and flow.

Landscape Photography -a focus of art photography in which you capture natural landscape scenes, usually in beautiful and high quality photographs – often contrasted with cityscape photography, although there are many shared methods and similar results.

Lomography – a special type of photography using inexpensive and characteristically low quality cameras for special effects or moods. Originally based on the Lomo cameras, lomographers now use lots of different cameras, including toys.

Portraiture – the specific use of cameras and photography to take pictures of people, trying to capture something of their personality or style, and using lighting, poses, makeup, clothing and other accessories and more to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions about Creative Hobbies, Arts and Crafts

What are some fun creative hobbies or crafts?

This is a tough one, because I tend to think they are all fun! Still, crafts like sand art, string art, lots of paper arts, pet grooming, collage art and even button art are tons of fun, and are pretty quick and easy to get started with. People also really seem to love bookmaking, journal making and journaling, but it all kind of depends on you and your own personality, likes and interests.

What crafting hobbies are easy to learn?

Things like adult coloring books require no special knowledge, and are immediately fun and engaging. Traditional arts, like painting and drawing, can benefit from some learning and more advanced techniques, but don’t require them, and it’s fun to just get some paper or canvas, some pens, pencils or paints and brushes, and start playing. Bow making, candle making, flower arranging, sand and yarn painting are all also fun and easy.

What would be a good new hobby to do with kids or as a family?

Pet grooming, theater skits and costume design, puppet making and puppet shows, and any of the basic kinds of craft art, like sand painting, yarn or string art, pottery and clay sculpting, even just normal painting and drawing, are fun things for families to do together, and really help kids develop their talent, skills confidence, coordination and more.

Of course keepsaking crafts are fantastic, and it can also be really fun and rewarding to get into a little interior decorating with your kids, renewing and revisioning their bedrooms.

What are the best arts and crafts projects for adults?

I guess the standard answer here is to recommend things that might be a little too advanced, difficult, dangerous or expensive for kids, like welding or glass blowing, or things that otherwise obviously suggest adult participation, like home brewing or winemaking.

But when you look at what’s really popular now, and what people seem to want, it’s stuff like adult coloring books, which let us get in touch with our inner child, relax and unwind, and explore our creativity.

What arts and craft items can I sell?

Anything that you make that is attractive and high quality will sell, and often pieces that show a uniqueness or personal touch are especially desirable. People have great success selling handmade soaps and bath bombs, handmade paper, clothing and fashion items, nice dream catchers, jewelry, pottery and stained glass pieces, just to name a few.

What handmade items are most in demand these days?

The answer just above helps address this question as well, but really you can say that anything that shows some unique flair and personality, as well as being pretty, attractive or striking looking and of high quality in material and craft, will always have a market.

Many people specialize in handmade clothing or jewelry and do very well, and there has been a strong demand recently for nice miniatures, like dollhouse furniture.

And, of course, if you are a good artist you can always sell paintings, drawings and even digital art on the right platforms.

Why are creative hobbies, arts and crafts so important?

Besides the obvious answer, that they are so much fun to do, there are lots of other reasons why creative hobbies are a great pursuit – they help us relax and reduce stress and promote emotional and mental health, they develop our mind and creative/lateral thinking, as well as our talent and skills, they help us spend time with our families (or even ourselves) in a closer and more productive way, and they can help us beautify our homes or our personal space, or provide great presents for friends and family.

Because seemingly everybody has a smartphone with an at least decent quality camera, digital photography is huge these days, as well as digital photo editing and manipulation with programs like Photoshop.

And lots of people are getting good printers and proudly displaying their creations around the house – or using them in collages, keepsake art, scrapbooks and other projects.

But lots of other arts and crafts hobbies are very popular these days, especially ones that can be done at home fairly easily and cheaply during quarantine – stuff like adult comic books, drawing and painting, lots of paper arts, potpourri, oils and perfumes, gardening, food arts and more.

How can you choose the best creative hobby for you?

Again, it really depends on your own personality, interests and lifestyle, and just reading through the above list of arts and crafts types might lead you in the right direction.

If you are in the city, some gardening and landscaping, or larger sculpting or welding, projects may not be practical.

If you have a lot of space you can get into creative hobbies that take up a lot of room, like the above, and you may also want to think about decorating or beautifying that space.

And if you own your home you can, of course, think about more permanent craft projects like flooring and woodworking.

Budget can also be a big determiner, but most of the entries in our complete list of creative hobbies, arts and crafts are at least affordable – a few of them surprisingly so – and many are downright cheap.

One important point in selecting a creative hobby is to never assume you can’t do something or won’t be good at it without even trying!

That’s one of the main reasons we’re here, to explore not just our interests but our abilities, talents and skills, and if you assume you can’t paint, and dismiss it as a possibility, you may well never uncover a great hidden talent!

What is a fun hobby to do during quarantine?

Since we’re all spending a lot more time at home these days, a great idea is to get into arts and crafts activities that will beautify, or even transform, your home. Interior design can be as simple as reworking a single room, or you can totally redecorate – even build your own furniture!

Also, creative hobbies that create beautiful things for your living space, home office or anywhere in or around your house are good – like stained glass crafting, rug making and carpet making, flower arranging, gardening and landscaping.

What is the difference between arts and crafts and hobbies?

Really, any type of arts and crafts can be considered a hobby, just like anything we do on a regular basis with interest and enjoyment.

Not all hobbies, though, are arts and crafts, or creative hobbies – for instance, stamp and coin collecting, or listening to music, while great fun and real hobbies, may not really be creative hobbies, and you probably won’t find supplies for them at your local craft store.
