Ever since my Girl Scout days, I’ve enjoyed a good arts and crafts project. Now, as an adult, I have craft supplies running out my ears, and so many project ideas I can’t keep up! Bible journaling, card making, and vinyl crafting are my current faves… but I’ve also done charcoal drawing, oil painting, and even crocheting too.
Crafting is just such a great therapeutic activity, and also a great way to love on our family, friends, and neighbors by making meaningful and useful things for them.
BUT, I know not everyone has the time, creative ideas, or the right supplies to craft with… and let’s face it, shopping for the right tools to try a new craft can be overwhelming!
Maybe that’s you… You just want to make cool things, enjoy the therapeutic benefits of crafting, and maybe end up with a wonderful handmade item you can give as a gift. But without all the hassle of finding a project idea, or deciding which new craft to try next.
So… craft subscription boxes to the rescue! With a monthly arts and craft subscription box, you get a crafty project delivered to you on a silver platter (okay, maybe not that fancy, but in a nice box anyway!). All the supplies you need are right there in the box, with instructions included, and all you need to do is start making!
