Crafty What Nots

Well for those of you lovely people out there who read my blog you may have seen me hinting at my new release!  Well seems a good time to tell the world!  Well the part that read this that is!  I would like to introduce you to Crafty What Nots! 

Not that long ago I had a ponder! My ponderings were about craft (as they often are) and I wondered about how great it would be if you could get craft supplies sent straight to your door every month, and what would make it even better would be if you had no idea what was coming or the crafts you might learn as a result.  I had noticed subscription boxes reviewed on various blogs but hadn't seen one that appealed enough to me to buy.  I am not someone who likes a load of stuff that I can't use but when it comes to craft ... well you can never have too much! 

Each Crafty What Nots box contain around £20 of materials, a kit with instructions to make something as well as a personal handmade gift just for you. I am also very keen on upcycling and my boxes contain packaging you can use for crafts as well.  Each box comes in the largest large letter size possible to keep postage as low as possible while making sure there is loads of space for all the crafty goodies inside!

So with my general plan in mind it was time to see how viable it was.  So I managed to find a wonderful group of friends and bloggers to give my review box a go!  I gave out very little information beforehand to see what the general reaction was.  So far I have had some lovely responses back.  If you would like to see what was inside the 1st box then do pop over to these fab blogs for a peek inside.

I have now had some great interest in further boxes so had to have a rearrange of my website to include a 'Crafty What Nots' section where you find out more about them, buy more materials if you wish or even subscribe or buy one off boxes.




Inside each box is also an inspiration sheet with just a few ideas of things you could make.


And if your wondering why 'Crafty What Nots'?  Well I am a Pooh Bear fan and loved Eeyore's pot for what nots and etcs.  I already create journals called 'And Etcs' so a box full of What Nots seemed a fab idea!

Well if you fancy getting the November box I am extending the deadline to the 20th October (cut off dates are usually the 15th of each month but as this is the first proper month I thought I would extend)  Each box is £12.50 plus P&P (cheaper if you buy 3 or 6 months)  The next box is Winter Wonderland!'

I will be popping by Handmade Harbour to see what some lovely bloggers have been up to, so do pop along for a dip!

  6. This is such a fab idea and the care that you have clearly put into creating the packages is clear to see. I've really enjoyed reading a few blogger's experiences of receiving their craft what nots this week on Handmade Monday :) x

    1. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed putting the boxes together, it took a lot longer than I thought as I handmade and wrote little thank you cards as I really wanted people to feel special. I have been so thrilled with how much people have liked their boxes. I can't wait for the next one, it is very wintery! xx
