11 Popular Presidential Craft Projects
Most of us take up crafting as a way to escape the pressures of our daily life and escape for a bit. But Presidents, candidates, and politicians can't just drop everything to start knitting!
Recently, Vanity Fair came out with their video of Six New Year's Resolutions for Hillary Clinton, and they've seen some backlash for suggesting that Hillary Clinton should take up knitting instead of running for office again. But the Interweave editorial staff responded with their article on the Top 7 Reasons Our Next President Should Be a Knitter, and we think they're right.
No matter your political leaning, we all know the benefits of crafting. And while we may not know what Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump’s New Year's resolutions are, but we do know what their hobbies are! It's a tough job, and taking up a craft can really help with the stress of working in politics. Here are some craft projects we think they might enjoy!
