Best Craft Gifts for Any Age

by Kristen 2 Comments

There are so many great choices for craft gifts. What I love about craft supplies is they are perfect for any age and any ability. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to find the perfect gift for a crafting pro, or a beginner, there are a lot of gift ideas for craft lovers.

Craft Gifts for Painters

Painting supplies get expensive, so the perfect gifts are those that help keep the budding artist fully stocked with paints, canvases and brushes. Here are a few ideas for supplies that every painter should have on hand.

Painting Canvases

Packs of artist canvases. These are perfect for all ages. I always have some on hand so that my daughter can paint and draw whenever she wants.

Acrylic Paints

Any type of paint set is great, but I think that acrylic paints are the most versatile. These come in handy for a variety of different projects, not just painting.

LED Light Box

A light box is a fun craft gift. This can be used for tracing a pattern or picture. This is fun for kids who may not be great at drawing, but love to paint. Simply trace your favorite picture and you can copy this onto your canvas.

Craft Gifts for Creativity

There are some arts and crafts that I love to have on hand and I think they make great gift ideas. These are things that people don’t always go out and buy, but they really come in handy when you want to try a new project and are looking for supplies.

Modeling clay– Good for building fun designs and these really come in handy for school projects. I prefer modeling clay that air dries and doesn’t require baking in the oven.

Embroidery Floss– can be used for cross-stitch, embroidery and making friendship bracelets.

Glue gun– a definite must have for any crafter. Be sure to keep lots of extra glue sticks on hand as these run out quickly.

Colored pencils– this is another versatile art supply to have on hand. Combine this with a fun coloring book and you have the perfect gift for any age. And I do mean ANY age. There are so many beautiful coloring books designed for adults and it is such a relaxing craft.

As someone who loves arts and crafts, my personal opinion is that you can’t go wrong with craft gifts. My daughter always requests arts and crafts for her birthday and Christmas and she has never been disappointed!

How to Make a Clay Jewelry Dish

by Kristen Leave a Comment

DIY Clay Jewelry Dish

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought that this DIY Jewelry Dish was the perfect project to share with everyone. Make it for someone special to be given along with a new piece of jewelry, or make it for yourself to use as a catch-all. It’s a great little dish that could be used on your nightstand, or by the front door to hold your keys.  I think this would make a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day too.

This is an easy project that uses air dry clay, stamps to make a pretty pattern and paints. Click here For the complete list of instructions by Sahana (aka Vikalpah).  Have fun!

Crochet Car Seat Cover

If there’s a new baby on the horizon for you or someone you love, then how about crocheting this adorable car seat cover? Grab the free pattern and use your imagination to create color combinations that are perfect for the little girl, or boy, in your life. This cover is so cute, I think it would be the hit of any baby shower.

Update:  As of October 2017 the free pattern for the car seat now includes a race car applique with it instead of the dog.  To add the adorable dog applique shown in the picture, you will need to purchase a separate pattern (currently priced at $2).  Here is the link to that pattern.

Learning to Paint Watercolor Butterflies

by Kristen Leave a Comment

Make your own note cards with watercolored butterflies that are really easy to paint. There’s nothing like a butterfly to brighten-up someone’s day and that’s why I think they are the perfect choice for note cards. That way you can use them for a Thank You note, or an “Anytime” card to let someone know you’re thinking of her. Whatever the occasion, these notes cards are the perfect fit. And these are an inexpensive gift idea too. All you need are watercolor paints, blank note cards and an angular paint brush.
