Your Top Ten Favorite Craft Projects in 2025

I want to thank you all for consistently appreciating my craft projects. I love to craft, and today, I am sharing your top ten favorite craft projects from 2025 on my blog.

One of my favorite things to do is create items with my hands, and I wish I had more time to spend in my craft room. I love my new craft room on the third floor, as it’s the perfect spot to enjoy my craft projects and leave the mess until it is done!

Three framed paintings featuring colorful sushi rolls on a pink background are displayed in a row on a light-colored wall, adding playful charm reminiscent of creative craft projects. — Three of my old paintings I kept and love hanging in the craft room.

I think the buggest change in 2025 that I made with crafts was starting my series, A Handmade Christmas, in September. It was sixteen weeks of Christmas crafts. I loved is so much and I am going to do a similar series titled, A Handmade Spring, beginning February 1st.

I cannot wait.

Meanwhile, I reviewed a year of crafts and DIY posts and identified your top ten favorites. There were a few close votes, so I got to vote too.

I posted all of them below and included the link with the DIY instructions.

This process inspired me to think about my craft ideas for 2025, and I now have four new ideas! One is for Winter, and I am so excited I hope to make it next week! It’s my dream to make my crafts farther in advance, so this might be the perfect start.

Here are your top ten favorites, which are in no particular order.
