Get fit and organised in the New Year with You Can Craft

Kick start those new resolutions!

Kick start those new resolutions!Future’s You Can Craft! magazine is setting up for the New Year, and in a bid to help readers start afresh, is providing the tools to craft yourself fit and organised!

With two big projects aimed at encouraging those New Year’s resolutions, You Can Craft! is helping readers to hit the exercise classes and also organise their office or crafting area.

Kick start or invigorate your fitness routine with a fashionable yoga mat carrier and water bottle holder – keeping your hands free to update your progress in a beautifully-covered exercise journal. Each project takes no more than a couple of hours, so you can complete this whole set in a day.

If your New Year’s resolution is to be more organised, then you can get the office or crafting area into ship-shape condition with a desk set and pen pot, as well as making your own calendar and wall sign. Decorating your workspace and coordinating these accessories with your décor will be sure to inspire you to keep tidy! A wonderfully versatile project, these ideas can be used to make sure your own space stays chaos-free, or even your partner’s or children – if they’ll let you!

The leading craft magazine is aimed at total beginners, so if you’d like to try something new in the New Year and get crafting, they’ve got all of the ideas and tips for you to get started. Each project can be finished in an evening or less – many in just a matter of minutes, and the magazine comes with a handy project bag and bumper craft kit. This month it includes card blanks, exclusive patterned and coordinating plain papers, embellishment greetings, felt, craft wire, organza ribbons, silky decorative cord, flower beads, a white gel pen and sticky 3D pads.

Ruth Southorn, Editor of You Can Craft said:
“At this time of year there’s no better way to start afresh with new ideas for your favourite hobbies. Of course it’s also a great time to try something new if you’ve never crafted before and we have heaps of fabulous projects to start you off. Be inspired with our New Year easy-makes – I love the yoga mat carrier in particular. What a stylish way to make sure your keep fit regime goes with a swing in 2009!”

Issue 15 of You Can Craft is on sale now, priced at £7.99.
