Adults & Crafts Crate - Monthly Craft Subscription Box

I received my first kit today, and it is as promised -- Everything I need to complete is in the kit including the objects this kit is designed for. It's a little pricey for what it is, and I already have the necessary skills.However, the flip side of the coin is that all the prep work has been done for me! It's a cute project (not saying what it is-no spoilers in this review!) that I could have pulled together myself. But, that would entail my going to the hardware store for part of it and going to the craft store for the rest. Then, at the very least, I would need to get out a pencil, tape measure, an awl and my circular saw. Phew! After that I would be tired of working on the project before I even had a chance to assemble it (I have a very short attention span).So, pricey goes into making it easy for me to make this project. I do look forward to upcoming kits now. It would be nice for the company to have a survey to find out what the buyer would be interested in learning, as well as those crafts that would totally put the buyer off.

I’m giving it a four star so far only because I didn’t care about the craft that was provided which was polymer clay.That aside, the quality of the products was good, there were clear and easy instructions to follow, and had I not done the whole polymer clay things several years ago, I might have been more invested.On a sidenote, I was able to use some of the clay in a completely unrelated project which came in handy.My next box is coming soon and I’m looking forward to it!Update: I’ve updated this to five stars having now gotten my second box which is much more to my liking. Once again, the instructions are clear, and the contents are all good quality. I think with a subscription box like this you are likely to receive a craft that you may not be interested in but even if you do not, it is good quality to be regifted.

I loved my first couple of kits. Full of current crafts and lots of materials. Then they started to go down in value. The last kit was a metal ring and plastic greenery to make a wreath. Not worth the price. The kits do have everything you need but the instructions could have more detail. A one page instruction sheet for resin pour was lacking in detail and confusing. Having to go on line for more instruction for the embroidery kit was irritating. Made the kit hard to work on unless you had internet connection, or if you decided to take it for something to do while waiting and didn't read the instructions before hand. Waiting for this months kit to arrive to see if I decide to renew my subscription.

This was my first DIY Craft kit. I found it interesting and a great project. Everything I needed for the project was in the box. This kit was worth the money. I’ll see how the next box turns out before I can recommend.

This is my second box and I am not happy. The tray is really cheap and it is falling apart. When I try to line up the edges to fix it, they don’t touch. I am also missing the foam brush to paint the tray. This is a really great idea, but poorly executed. The quality of materials is subpar. Last month’s weaving project was something I did when I was in fourth grade at public school. The loom was made out of flimsy wood and broke before I could finish the project. What a complete disappointment.

These kits are great in terms of preparing materials for a project that can be done with others. I got four months of this subscription for my 17 YO grandson who enjoys crafts. He did the first one and enjoyed it, but has been stashing away subsequent kits to do "later" which irritates my granddaughter (11 YO) who wants to do them. Time will tell if Ricky ever does them.I will say that the way Amazon does this subscription is not easy to cancel. I canceled this month twice, weeks ago, but then got a delivery notice. The company refunded my money, but they're just a small operation (good people) and shouldn't have to deal with the lack of communication to cancel additional subscriptions from Amazon. The small company was easy to work with and desired to please.

Very nice kit with detailed instructions and most supplies you’ll need. I did stop it after a few months because the kits seemed more involved than my skill level, which is practically non-existent. Maybe it’s just my lack of faith in myself. They would be good for families or small groups to do. I’m saving them for when this pandemic is over to do with friends during our monthly craft day.Price is good for the money when you figure some of the kits may have reusable supplies and you always have the instructions to do the project again.

My husband and I needed an activity we could do together. We've done two boxes so far, and our third just shipped, I can't wait to see what it is! One of the great things about these kits is they contain more materials than you need so you can make more than just the craft in the box. I have saved the acrylic paints from the first two boxes and re used them for a few other things already. Instructions have been easy to follow and it's nice how they give you some inspiration but also enough leeway to be creative on your own.
