Are you one of those too-busy-to-craft or I’ll-do-this-when-I-have-more-time people? Our lives can get so packed with errands, work and kids that we barely get any time to ourselves! But that’s no reason for crafting to suffer! If anything, it will relax you and take your mind off your busy schedule for a bit. Dedicated to all the busy bees, here are 10 DIY projects you can make in 5 minutes (or less)!
