The Crafting Revival

The Crafting Revival

The last 18 months have seen a surge in the demand for home crafting. With much of the world on lockdown, we have reached for hands-on hobbies that we could do at home like knitting and embroidery to occupy our time. It is no wonder that many of us have re-discovered a love for home crafting or maybe even found a passion we didn’t know we had! TV shows such as The Great British Sewing Bee and The Repair Shop have inspired us further to reach for our tools and craft.

Learning a new skill can be frustrating but with a little perseverance and a lot of patience, getting it right is sooo satisfying! Creating something from nothing will give you a huge sense of pride.

How can we at The Present Finder help feed your crafting curiosity? Well, we have lots of lovely home craft projects which you just might like to try. Why not reach for the embroidery hoops and try our Wildwood or Forest Ferns Embroidery kits. These great little kits include everything you need to complete these craft projects, they are easy to do and are great for beginners!

Children also love to craft at home. Encourage their creativity with the Animal-tastic Colour-In Backpack or Power Colour-in Backpack. These fun eco-friendly backpacks are made from recycled and sustainable fabric and will give your kids hours of entertainment. Just let them simply use the included pencils to colour in the backpack and the best part is, if they make a mistake, you can wash it and they can start again! For the child that prefers a little more “mess” with their crafts, try the Make Your Own Llama kit. Using six different doughs, a handy modelling tool and a sprinkle of glitter, your child will be thrilled at making their own bespoke llama.

When it comes to gifting, home craft kits can be so much more than “just another present”. You are giving someone an experience. Something they will enjoy doing and that may even lead to the discovery of a newly found hobby. Is there a man in your life that would relish going back to his childhood with this Grand Prix Construction Kit? Featuring fool-proof instructions and everything needed to make a Grand Prix racing car model, this kit will be loved by all ages whether you are 8 or 88!

For something a little different and that will encourage the whole family to get involved and show off their skills, why not consider the Blokey Nano Origami kit. Complete with instructions, this kit will show you how to make teeny tiny models of boats, planes and more. Everyone will want to give it a try. This makes a great little stocking filler too.

What are you waiting for? Try something new and creative now!
