Handicrafts, decorative arts and crafts books
Putting aside some well-deserved time for yourself is vital for good mental health. Having a hobby can help you unwind after a stressful day, gives you a sense of purpose as you strive to learn a new skill, and gives you something to look forward to while you’re working your way through an interminable to-do list. Most importantly, hobbies make you happy.
And with thousands of new and second-hand books to browse through, free UK delivery and the knowledge that by purchasing a book you’re helping a reader in need, the happiness starts here when you buy from AwesomeBooks!
Whether you’re a complete beginner in search of a new pastime or an experienced crafter looking to take your skills to the next level, we have the book for you. Artists can learn how to paint and draw everything from landscapes to pets and people, mastering the techniques needed to complete their own works of art. If you like the idea of drawing but don’t want to create artwork from scratch, adult colouring books could be the perfect option, offering the perfect combination of creativity and mindfulness.
As more and more of us are looking for ways to live more sustainably and be more self-sufficient, knitting, crochet and sewing are wonderful crafts to learn.

Calming, creative and mediative, knitting and crochet can be done almost anywhere and is a hobby that can be as sociable or solitary as you care to make it.
So whether you want to throw shapes on a pottery wheel, get back to nature with a bit of whittling, make intricate objects using origami or other papercraft techniques or puzzle your way through the evening with a mind-bending activity book, you’re sure to find your next passion in our selection of hobby and craft books.
