15 Best Craft Kits for Adults in 2020
2020 continues to be a turbulent year for us all as we enter a second lockdown. There have been days when we’ve sat longingly looking out the window and binge watching box sets with a bottle of wine, and there have been days where we’ve made the most of our newfound free time and adopted an array of unlikely hobbies. It began with cleaning everything in sight and attending virtual yoga classes, then moved into planting herbs and making pasta.
Unsuprisingly hobbies took a backseat as we returned to non-essential establishments (turns out we missed them a lot), picnicked in the park and went back to the gym. But now, as Coronavirus cases rise once more, we're back on the hunt for things to do at home.
So, what next? We’ll give you a clue: it’s something that has a little more longevity. Something that you dabble in and out of, between Zoom calls and daily walks. It’s something relaxing and which helps your mental health. Yep, we’re talking about crafting.
Believe it or not, there are some real craft kit gems on the market if you dare to look hard enough - created with adults in mind to help you make oh-so chic improvements to your home, wardrobe or beauty regime. If you didn't get round to doing something similarly wholesome in lockdown 1.0, lockdown 2.0 is most definitely the time.
Need proof? One of our favourite meal delivery services, Pasta Evangelists, released a pasta making kit, Hazel & Blue launched a soy candle making kit and Wool Couture dropped a kit which teaches you how to make your very own (very stylish) crocheted foot stool. There’s a kit for knitting your very own, spirit-lifting leopard print cushion, a kit for making your own lip balm (consider your chapped lips banished) and a seriously cool kit by London-based jewellery company, The Workbench, which allows you to craft your very own bespoke ring. Too good.
Complete with all the materials, tools, fabrics and instructions you need for any particular project, these craft kits for adults streamline your shopping experience and erase the daunting experience of devising an original design or acquiring the necessary tools.
