6 Reasons Collaging Should be Your New Pandemic Hobby
Here at Free Period Press, we're obviously big fans of mindful, creative activities that help you slow down. In celebration of our newest product, the Collage Kit Magazine, we want to share just a few reasons why collaging is the perfect hobby to take up during the pandemic.
1. Collaging is accessible
Collaging is a low-cost, low-investment creative activity. It's great even for folks who don’t seem themselves as “creative”! All you need are some scissors and a glue stick.
2. Collaging is nostalgic
Remember hanging out with your friends as a teenager, cutting out bits of your favorite magazines, and gluing everything onto a poster? Yeah. We still love doing that.
3. Collaging helps you destress
Collaging is the perfect way to unplug and make something tangible with your hands. (I especially like making postcards to send to friends.)
4. Our Collage Kit supports artists
The magazine features work from 40 of our favorite artists. We’re especially excited to be supporting artists during this tough economic time.
5. Collaging is a solution to boredom
Quarantine evenings feeling more and more devoid of things to do? Collaging will save the day. It's such a relaxing way to wind down.
6. Collaging brings people together (even virtually)
Collaging is a great activity to do with friends over Zoom! Try a socially-distanced craft night the next time you and your pals want to hang.
