You're Only One Tin Can Away From Getting Creative

Creativity is a hot topic at the moment, in the workplace, and outside of work.

It seems businesses are finally valuing creativity (it’s something humans do better than robots)…

…and outside of work, there’s been a massive resurgence of interest in traditional creative pursuits; from arts and crafts, to the Maker Movement in the US, and the Men’s Shed movement in the UK.

It can even improve our health. A recent study, conducted in partnership with the Craft Council (UK), has shown the ‘act of creating’ releases dopamine, and can combat stress, loneliness and improve cognitive function.

I want some of that!

Are you thinking ‘that’s fantastic, but I don’t know how to get started’!

If so, you are in the right place, because its my mission to make it EASY for EVERYONE to get creative… and what’s more, you only need the objects around you to get started.

Big ideas on a low budget

You’ll get totally original ideas for transforming the things around you, such as cereal boxes, old toys… and even used TIN CANS… into really cool things.

Table top projects

You’ll need nothing more than basic equipment, and a table… no workbench required. Also, most projects are achievable in hours, not days, and some in minutes… perfect for the time-pressed.

Not rocket science

You’ll not need to master difficult skills, the focus is on originality and ease of build, PLUS, every project comes with step-by-step instructions.

Which looks like this when finished…

Love of imperfection

You’ll be encouraged to enjoy the process of creating, and not to obsess over the quality of the end product. Celebrate wonky!
