Stressful times call for calming measures. Whether you’re working on yourself, building your community, or building your career, we all need a respite from our daily toils now and then. Crafting can be incredibly therapeutic way to give yourself a break and make nurture you creative spirit.
However lovely this process sounds, picking up a new project can be daunting; especially when you want to try something new. Luckily, there are amazing small business owners who are ready to give you the tools you need to shine through a creative burst seamlessly.
Here are 7 types of craft kits you can try that include everything you need to master your project!
Crochet
The one hook wonder! Crocheting is a great way to break into the yarn world (and trust me, it’s addicting). And if you’re a first time hooker (hehe), it can be incredibly difficult to figure out all the materials and instructions you require. A great place to start is with a full kit that will give you everything you need to create your project. Check out We Crochet’s Learn to Crochet Club kits and get yourself started!
Cross-Stitch
Cross stitching is all the rage these days. It was also my first fiber love <3 With this craft, it’s all about patience. After all, you are essentially creating an image out of hundreds (or even thousands! whoa…) of little colored squares. I’ve seen many beautiful geometric animal-centric kits come from Velvet Pony Design.
Embroidery
I basically consider embroidery ‘painting with thread.’ There are so many beautiful techniques with this craft with endless possibilities. If you are looking to create your next masterpiece, check out Nelly Makes Embroidery kits! Her designs are out of this world (literally)!
Needle Felting
This delightful craft is both satisfying and fun and looks absolutely delightful on fabric. Want to try your hand at it?? Felted Sky has got you covered! You’ll look like a pro and have a new art piece that will dazzle your housemates.
Punch Needle
Just like it sounds – you basically stab large thread through fabric to create a unique design! Get your anger out with punch needle kits by Rise Tailor Studio!
Macrame
The art of tying knots! Spruce up your wall, hang your plants, make a bracelet, or upgrade your key ring with this soothing art. Want to try it? Check out macrame kits by Moss Points North! You even get to choose your cord color (ooOOOooo :D)
Paint By Numbers
Not just for kids anymore! You can certainly find a plethora of paint by number kits from big name retailers. However! There are amazing Etsy artists who are taking it to the next level. For a Paint By Numbers that is truly unique, check out Stretarbokgems.
Now get crafting!
