February’s project is all about slowing down and enjoying a beautifully rhythmic make — one that feels calm, considered, and quietly satisfying. Inspired by traditional handcrafts and grounded in natural materials, this month’s kit invites you to settle into a gentle, mindful process and create something that’s both practical and pleasing to look at.

Introducing The Beaded Trivet Craft Kit — a tactile, earthy project that blends soft wooden tones, rich holly green, and subtle flashes of metallic gold. It’s a piece designed to be used, loved, and admired for its simple beauty.

If you've bought this project, you'll find your tutorial video below (the password is on the front of the printed instructions in your box!)

A Thoughtful, Hands-On Make

This craft kit is rooted in repetition and pattern — the kind that feels wonderfully soothing as you go. From watching plain wooden beads slowly transform in the dye bath, to threading them together round by round, each step has a lovely rhythm to it.

You’ll be working with natural textures and a limited but carefully chosen colour palette, allowing the materials themselves to shine. The result is a set of handmade trivets that feel timeless, calm, and right at home on your table.

What’s in the Craft Kit?

Inside your Beaded Trivet Craft Kit, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy the process from start to finish:

• 100 Wooden Beads (14mm)

• 100ml Holly Green Dye

• White Beading Cord

• Tapestry Needle

• Disposable gloves

• Plastic Mixing Container

• Wooden stirring Stick

• Metallic Gold Marker Pen

You’ll just need a pair of scissors and some kitchen towel to get started.

What You’ll Be Making

The kit includes enough materials to create:

• One three-round trivet and one four-round trivet, or

• Three three-round trivets, depending on how you’d like to use your beads

You can keep your design cohesive or mix things up — alternate colours, add gold details sparingly, or create a bold pattern that feels entirely your own.

A Calm Creative Journey

The process unfolds in two relaxing stages:

Decorating your beads
You’ll begin by dyeing your beads in holly green, choosing how light or deep you’d like the colour to be. Once dry, the gold pen allows you to add gentle patterns — stripes, dots, blocks of colour or freehand details — bringing warmth and individuality to each bead.

Assembling your trivet
Next comes the satisfying structure-building stage. Using simple beading techniques and guided video tutorials, you’ll gradually build your trivet outward in neat circular rounds. Watching the pattern emerge bead by bead is incredibly rewarding.

Make It Your Way

This craft kit is designed to be flexible and personal. You might:

• Keep things soft and minimal with mostly natural wood

• Create contrast with alternating green and gold accents

• Repeat the same pattern each round or change it up as you go

There’s no rush here — just a steady, soothing rhythm and plenty of room for creativity.
