6 Christmas craft kits from The Works that are perfect for beginners
1. Make your own Christmas diamond wreath decoration kit
Diamond painting is a fun, therapeutic craft, and this beautiful wreath is perfect for beginners. Once finished, it also makes a lovely decoration for your home.
If you’ve never done diamond painting, it’s quite similar to paint-by-numbers. You’ll stick the plastic gems (drills) on the corresponding numbers on your pattern, and it will create a sparkling piece of artwork.
This kit contains everything you need to complete the project, including the wreath base, gems, adhesive, a pen, a tray and even the chain to hang your finished wreath.
2. Make your own festive hanging decorations
With this kit, you can create two beautiful hanging Christmas decorations adorned with velvet bows, pine cones, pine branches and a golden bell.
Inside the box, you’ll find all of the materials to make the bows; you’ll just need your own glue. You’ll also find easy-to-follow instructions to guide you through each stage.
This one is a lovely project to enjoy with a friend or partner, ideally while a festive film plays in the background! Once you’ve finished, you could hang your bows from the Christmas tree, in the window, or you could even use them to top a special gift.
3. Make your own Christmas stocking decorations
Felt is a brilliant material for making Christmas decorations, it’s colourful, versatile and easy for beginners. It does require a little sewing, but only simple stitches, and they don’t have to be perfect. In fact, a touch of uneven stitching gives your project charm.
This trio of colourful stockings is a lovely introduction to felt crafts. Once finished, they make thoughtful gifts for family and friends. Feeling adventurous? If you have a bit of extra felt, you could even sew their initials on the back.
Inside the kit, you’ll find festive-coloured felt, embroidery threads, twine, hemp rope for the bow, a needle, beads, and simple written instructions to guide you along.
4. Make your own festive paper wreath
If you fancy dipping your toe into the wonderful world of papercrafts, this is the perfect project. You don’t need any fancy tools, and there’s no fiddly cutting, making it ideal for beginners and kids alike.
The kit includes the wreath base, all the pre-cut pieces, and glue, so you’re ready for the fun part: creating your wreath. You’ll also find easy-to-follow instructions, or you can get creative and go freestyle.
5. Snowman crochet kit
How utterly adorable is this little fella? This lovely festive project is sure to get you in the mood for Christmas! It’s suitable for beginners, but you’ll need to be clued up on the basics of crochet before you get going.
Inside the kit, you’ll find yarn, a hook, stuffing and even stitch markers (which are so helpful for any project), plus a pattern and instructions to follow.
The question is, though, will you keep him or give him away as a gift?
6. Set of 3 mini Christmas cross stitch hoops
Cross stitch is one of the most relaxing crafts, making it ideal for a cosy winter evening while you put your feet up.
This kit is brilliant for beginners because it contains pre-printed fabric for the trio of Christmas hoops, so you simply stitch directly onto the fabric without having to follow a key.
Once you’ve completed your hoops, use them as decorations or give them as special gifts; your loved ones will appreciate the handmade touch.
