For all those creative and crafty types out there, we’ve compiled a list of fun craft kits for adults. And being one of those “crafty” types, I would love, love, love to receive any one of these kits.
They are all sold on Etsy and assembled by like-minded makers to include all of the materials needed to get started. This list is perfect for women that enjoy trying new and different crafts and it’s a great solution for those people who don’t know exactly where to start.
Consider these kits as gift ideas for friends, mothers, sisters, teachers, etc. Coming up with the perfect gift can be tough, really tough. I personally agonize over whether or not the gift will be unique enough, personal enough, or even useful enough. With these kits, you can make a handmade gift from the heart or share the gift of learning a new skill with someone you love. You could even buy one of these kits for yourself. We all deserve to treat ourselves from time to time, don’t we?
Since all of our own DIYs and crafts are mostly inspired by nature, such as our Rock’n Outdoor Tic-Tac-Toe set or our DIY Driftwood Mirror, we’ve thoughtfully selected an assortment of craft kits that are made with natural materials, such as merino wool, mulberry bark paper, cotton cording, coconut and beeswax and so on.
The Best Craft Kits for Adults:
Teddy Bunny Kit and Downloadable Pattern

Can you say A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E? Instead of buying a stuffie at the store, consider making your own super soft and handmade stuffie as gift for a new baby or lil’ one in your life.
