How many times have you heard someone say, “Oh, I’m just not creative”? It’s one of the biggest myths out there - and one of the most damaging. At Curious Octopus, we believe everyone is creative. You might just need the right space and tools to unlock it.

Here Are 5 Common Creativity Myths (And the Truth Behind Them)

1. “I’m not a creative person.”

Truth: Creativity isn’t a talent you’re born with. It’s a skill you practice - just like cooking or gardening.

2. “You have to be good at art.”

Truth: Creativity isn’t about perfection. It’s about trying something new and enjoying the process.

3. “I don’t have time.”

Truth: You don’t need hours. Even 20 minutes with a craft project can improve your mood and ease stress.

4. “It’s a waste of time.”

Truth: Studies show creative hobbies help with stress relief, focus, and confidence. It’s a self-care essential.

5. “It’s too expensive to start a new hobby.”

Truth: You don’t need to buy a studio’s worth of supplies. A Curious Octopus craft subscription box sends you everything you need for a new project every month - no extra shopping, no waste.
