That’s where kits come in handy: They supply all the materials, as well as the instructions, needed to complete the project. Plus, once you’ve finished a kit, you have something concrete and tangible to display, wear, or admire. Take a look at some recommended craft kits to help you while away your weekends. Once the project is complete, you can roll up the canvas you’ve created—or you can frame it and hang it in your own home (or give it to someone else as a present). The finished canvas will be 11.8-inches square. The kit comes with the canvas backing, diamonds, a key for where to place them on the canvas, adhesive, and so on. When you order, you can select each of your yarn colors, choosing from several options. Plus, if you have a loom already or you decide to make another wall hanging after this one, kits can be ordered without the loom, too. This Springtime Paint-by-Number Kit offers up a scene, along with precise instructions for how to paint it. The kit comes with a pre-printed background, paintbrushes, and paint. All you’ll need to do is follow the instructions, and you’ll have created a gorgeous, vintage-inspired work of art, suitable for hanging. According to the website, the project will take up to five hours to complete. Once you’ve planted and designed your terrarium, the upkeep is minimal and you can enjoy this small green space that you’ve created on a desk or bookshelf. You can select both your rope and twine colors. The materials in the kit are high quality, and once you’ve mastered the craft, you can easily visit a craft store (online or in person) to pick up additional supplies, so you can make more bowls—or baskets or coasters—with the same technique. This macrame kit has enough materials for you to make three hanging plant holders—it includes cord, wooden beads for decorative touches, a ring, and instructions. In addition to the clear written instructions, video instructions are also available if you need to see the process in more detail. Once you’ve dyed the bandana included in the kit, you can take on other projects (t-shirts, pillow covers, and so on). You can do this craft solo, but it’s also ideal for outdoor parties and get-togethers with friends. The kit comes with all the supplies you’ll need, including an embroidery hoop and thread, the tote bag, embroidery needles, and instructions. You’ll just need to supply a pair of scissors. The pattern is stamped on the tote bag, so you can follow along as you stitch. You’ll use a variety of knots on this project, which will help you learn and get comfortable with new types of stitches. This Wool and the Gang knitted hat kit is classified as easy, and will take roughly eight hours to complete. A beginner knitter can take on this project, but it might be best for a second, not first, project. The kit comes with yarn, knitting and sewing needles, a label, and a pattern with all the details you’ll need to make the hat. The finished product will be a showstopper. It’s 62 x 72 inches, and you can use it on your bed, or hang it up like an art piece. While the quilt will have that cozy, home-spun look you want from a craft project, the design is modern and bright. The kit comes with two different soap molds, so you can make soap in different shapes. The soap you make at home makes for a great present, and the soap gift boxes included in the kit will make it easy for you to share these soaps with loved ones.
