Today, we’re trading our glue sticks for ink pens (just for a minute!) and celebrating the simple beauty of syllables—because it’s National Haiku Day!
Haikus are tiny poems packed with meaning, traditionally written in a 5-7-5 syllable format. They’re a peaceful little pause in the day, like the poetic version of sipping tea or threading a needle. And honestly? We think crafters and haikus are a match made in creative heaven.
Let’s try a few haikus inspired by our favorite crafty things:
Paper cut confetti,
Colors scatter like a dream—
Joy in every scrap.
The yarn twists and loops,
Needles click in quiet rhythm—
Warmth grows stitch by stitch.
Paintbrush dips and swirls,
Canvas blooms with bold ideas—
Mistakes turn to art.
Pretty fun, right? Writing haikus is a great creative warm-up for the day—or even a fun project to do with kids, craft club friends, or your journal. You can even pair a haiku with a handmade card or bookmark for a thoughtful, poetic gift!
Want to celebrate? Try this:
-
Write a haiku about your favorite craft.
-
Decorate it with stickers, doodles, or scrapbook embellishments.
-
Share it online or tuck it into your craft space for inspiration.
✨ Let’s fill our feeds—and our hearts—with poetic little bursts of creativity today! Share your haikus with us using #CraftyHaiku and tag us so we can be inspired too!
Here’s to words, wonder, and the magic of handmade everything.
Happy National Haiku Day, friends! 💛✂️🖌️
