The cold days of winter are a wonderful time for settling down with a hot drink to do some crafting and get that cosy feeling.
In the run-up to Christmas, it can be difficult to think of thoughtful ideas for some loved ones. However, crafting kits can make fabulous gifts as they can give hours of joy and leave crafters with a beautiful item at the end of it. Not only is immersing yourself in a craft a great way to relax but it is also a fantastic way to look after your mental health.
Crafting kits are also a good way to give someone a new hobby. They provide a good entry into various crafts as they contain everything a beginner needs, including instructions and materials. Here are some different types of craft kits to gift this Christmas:
Macrame
Macrame is a fantastic hobby all year round, but especially in the run-up to Christmas, a time that many find stressful. The items that can be made with macrame are extremely versatile, from homeware items to clothing and even hanging cat beds!
Knitting
A classic craft, knitting is a wonderful hobby but can be a little intimidating to get into for new starters as there are many different bits of equipment and material needed based on the project chosen. However, knitting kits contain everything a new knitter needs. Even for advanced knitters, knitting kits can take the work out of finding and selecting the appropriate yarn for the right project.
Macraweave
Macraweave is the beautiful lovechild of macrame and weaving, creating stunning items with sumptuous textures and depth. These make particularly beautiful wall hangings. It’s easy enough to get started, with a kit if you have never done it before.
