This is another fairly easy craft for you to do. It is a good tool to have around so that you have something to fiddle with - whether it be helping with anxiety, kids motor skills, or preventing yourself from constantly snacking (yes that sounds silly, but it works).
All you need is a needle and thread (or sewing machine), two pieces of fabric, and a marble.
The first step is to cut the pieces of fabric to the same size. I usually find that between a 10x10 and 15x15 square works best.
Sew along three of the edges, then turn it inside out so that the stitches are on the inside.
Draw a maze pattern on one side of the fabric with pencil (it will wash out). Try and keep the lines about an inch apart from each other, otherwise the marble will not fit through.
Sew along the pencil lines, then put the marble inside. It's easier to do it this way round because sewing the maze pattern with the marble inside can be tricky.
Finally, fold over the edges of the fabric on the un-sewn side and sew it up.
And boom, you're done!
Let me know what you think of this craft, and how you use it in your life xx
