Everyone who loves to craft wishes that it could be a little easier. The setting aside time, gathering the correct supplies, finding a great project, and figuring out instructions to hone a new skill. I always want to branch out and try new types of making, but run into enough obstacles I don’t much get past the idea.
My good friend Morgan felt the same way when she dreamed up The Crafter’s Box. This monthly crafting box provides every thing you need to learn a new skill and create a beautiful, modern, practical craft so that the only thing left for you to do is create the time. I was thrilled and honored that Morgan asked me to be one of the featured makers for The Crafter’s Box this first year, and even more blown away when I gathered in San Diego with the five other kick-off featured makers: Maryanne Moodie, Rachel Denbow, Emily Katz, Elise Cripe, Erin Dollar, and Emily Reinhardt.
These women are experts in their crafts, and each created the most beautiful projects using such gorgeous materials.
The first box that launched in December (and is already sold out!) was this Rya Weaving kit curated by Maryanne Moodie. She’s one of the country’s most renowned fiber artists, and also one of the most sincere and lovely people I’ve ever met!
I’ve been oohing and ahhing about the soft, incredible wool yarns and roving in the weaving kit, and have just begun the process of making what will be this awesome wall hanging. Isn’t it incredible?
Each month of The Crafter’s Box includes the box itself, shipped to your doorstep filled with all of the tools and materials needed to complete the month’s project. In addition, each featured maker has filmed the full tutorial in a step-by-step video so you can watch, listen, and learn at home, on your own time. The creators will also each do a live Q+A and record a podcast, all of which you’ll have exclusive access to! The price point is $65 per month, or $300 for a girl’s night box set of 5. Wouldn’t this make such a fun craft night group? Everything included and ready to go? I do.
As a featured maker, I’ll be sharing each month’s craft here–including my own that will be coming up in the next couple months (ps it involves leather and sewing and is gorgeous.) If you decide to join in the fun, you can use one of the affiliate links I provided in this post to sign up, and Morgan will know I referred you (I’ll receive a small kick-back from the referral, win-win!) And if you do sign up, let me know! I’d love to see your projects in progress, too! I’ll also be sharing my progress on Instagram along the way!
Happy Crafting!
