All you need is a few steady hands, some scissors, a bit of glue and some bits and pieces around the house to embellish the craft ideas you come up with.

One of the simplest projects that will make you feel great and give you a major kick of satisfaction is to cut up the top portion of the toilet paper cylinder to make it look like a cat ears.
