Creative Idea of the Day - 2025 01


|    idealog    home

Every day on my Idealog account on Bluesky - except for the days I forget - I share a quick creative idea and archive the month's list here on the last day.

  1. Transform book pages into wearable art by turning them into pendants, earrings, bracelets, or make beads of the paper and string them.
  2. Make a list of things to know.
  3. Spend a day taking photos of a particular theme (e.g., doors, colours, reflections) and share your best shots, with or without commentary.
  4. Make a list of food combinations you'd like to try.
  5. Create a playlist that tells a story.
  6. Write a poem using only words that start with the same letter.
  7. (missed)
  8. Make a list of things that are on your manifesto - or make a manifesto.
  9. Draw or doodle something that represents your day.
  10. Make a more of / less of list for the year ahead, or month, or just overall. Let's see: more reading, more making art, more community involvement, less sedentaryness.
  11. Cut out shapes or words from book pages and attach them to a mobile structure, creating a kinetic art piece.
  12. Create a landscape using only shades of one particular colour.
  13. Using a randomly generated group of words, pair two of the words together and pretend it's a new product. What is it? What does it do?
  14. Create a 15 or 30-second silent film - animated, drawn, live action, or whatever other form you like.
  15. Something you're looking forward to.
  16. Design and print a small 3D object. If you don't have a 3D printer, many public libraries have makerspaces that have them.
  17. Create a still life, digital or otherwise, of mechanical things.
  18. DIY something around the house without spending money.
  19. Pick your favourite books, or ones that have impacted you the most, and create a poem out of their first lines.
  20. Design a piece of jewellery or an accessory.
  21. Create a list of your all-time favourite books, movies, or songs. Share it.
  22. Draw a favourite animal or insect and exaggerate one feature.
  23. Write about something you're proud of.
  24. 5 things you love, hate, want, need, hope, and are.
  25. Make a list of things to do for a solo or couple date night/day, cut the list into strips, put them in a jar, and draw one randomly to do.
  26. Make a list of things that challenge your comfort zone. Do one.
  27. Write a short poem or story inspired by something you read.
  28. Something beautiful you saw today.
  29. Collect discarded items and turn them into something useful or beautiful.
  30. Create stickers or cards with positive messages and leave them in public places.
  31. Create a collage piece where each element represents a different memory.
