It's the perfect on-trend decorative piece to display on your sideboard or mantlepiece this summer - and all year round.
Sashiko Wrap
For this project we're taking inspiration from Sashiko, a traditional Japanese embroidery style, distinctive for its striking geometric patterns.
You're going to embroider fabric using a Sashiko stitching technique, before transforming it into a roll up pouch that is perfect for storing pens, craft tools, or jewellery items.
The Flock of Swifts Artwork
For May's kit, we're taking inspiration from beautiful flocks of birds, who we often see at this time of year, in stunning formations as they swoop through the air in intricate, coordinated patterns.
You'll have great fun getting hands-on as you explore using a variety of tools and specially selected materials to create your own 'flock of swifts' collage.
Leaf Printed Tea Towel Project
April's project takes you outside to enjoy the Spring sunshine to gather a variety of leaves of different shapes, sizes and textures.
You'll then explore printing with your leaves to make decorative patterns and create a stunning leaf printed and embroidered tea towel.

For March's kit, we're taking inspiration from nature and you'll be creating your own Bird Feeder!
Using natural raffia and polypropylene twine you'll form a stylish and practical bird feeder, ready to hang up and attract beautiful birds to your outside space this Spring - and all year round.
Papier-mâché Vase Craft Kit
For February's kit, you'll be creating your own Papier-mâché Terracotta Vase!
You'll explore this ancient art using paper mache pulp to sculpt and create a modern vase which once dry you'll paint in a warm, rich terracotta acrylic paint.
Bookbinding Craft Kit
For January's kit, you'll be creating and binding your own journal, perfect for reflecting on the year just gone and setting your new intentions!
The art of book-binding is an old craft, and one that lends itself to fantastic results.
Felted Lavender Bag
Textures, scent and colour all come together this month, as you needle felt and stitch a lavender scented bag – perfect to hang in your cupboard or from a handle, or keep in a clothing drawer.
The Gilded Clay Decorations Craft Kit
It's time to share the next craft kit - and, as this one is posted in November, we're getting into a sparkling, festive spirit!
Your November project is to make a beautiful set of three festive Clay Decorations - ideal to add some seasonal décor to your home, or they make a great gift for friends and family.
The Stitched Wooden Mirror
This latest project creates a Stitched Wooden Mirror. We love the playfulness of sewing thread onto wood so we've had these laser-cut wooden pieces created especially for you!
You'll stitch and do a little bit of weaving to create a stitched geometric pattern on the top of the wooden piece, then attach your mirror to the back - and it's ready to prop up or hang!
The Wildflower Engraved-Glass Craft Kit
Your September project is to create a pair of wildflower-inspired engraved drinking glasses.
The warmer months encourage us to spend time outdoors, amongst nature - sitting in our garden or the local park, hearing the tweeting of birds and watching delicate butterflies skip across brightly coloured flowers.
We're taking inspiration from pretty wildflowers for this glass-engraving project.
The Woven Bias Placemat Craft Kit
The latest Craftiosity project is here - the Woven Bias Placemat Craft Kit! This one is really satisfying to create, with a few different processes.
First up, you'll create your own bias binding strips from soft polycotton fabrics, then weave them into a striking geometric placemat, before stitching into place.

Sunbeam Wall Hanging
The new craft kit project is here! We're taking inspiration from the sun, its beams and uplifting energy, to create your own beautiful sunbeam wall hanging.
We're not supposed to have favourites (who could choose?!), but as my Granny would say, it's a wee stunner!
How To Make Time For Crafting
When I talk to people about crafting; what they get out of it, how often they craft, the thing I hear most often is that there’s never enough time for crafting.
Interestingly, I also often hear that people feel guilty taking time for themselves to craft. Now, we all know that’s crazy talk, but I think many of us feel that way too. So, we’ve brought together a little round of 10 ways to make time for crafting. Let’s dive in!
Folk Art-Inspired Concrete Dish
This month you can explore concrete casting - and folk art – to create this modern catch-all dish.
You'll construct your own mould from a plastic sheet (using our template), then pour in your 'snowcrete' (smooth white concrete) to cast your dish.
