Just received
my very first subscription, Craft Box from Crafty Creatives. And I am so excited to open
it. It is a whole new concept for me.
I first heard about Crafty Creatives on Claireabelle's blog. Claire has been a
subscriber more or less from the beginning and she often shares her makes from
the Crafty box. After reading her blog I decided I had to sign up.
To explain further.......
Crafty Creatives is run by 2 sisters,
Claire and Isobel. They offer something pretty unique; a craft box sent to your
door every month, full of surprise craft supply items. It costs just a tenner
and £2.95 for P&P!
So what was in
it?! And what is my initial opinion? My first box is actually box 16 and
it is based around a Victorian circus theme. It contains the following:
·
4 stripey buttons
·
circus stamp tin
·
strand of purple
glass beads
·
3 mask
pendants/charms
·
Admission tickets-
I got red and orange!
·
2 double-sided
craft papers
·
Materials for
extra coaster kit including:
o two plain coaster
o sheet of tattoos (I got dragons)
o reversed circus images
To be honest I wasn't totally blown away by this
box, but I think that is just because the theme is not really my kind of thing.
I’m a girly girl and I lean towards the cutesy spectrum in most things. This is a bit too dark for me. However I do have some ideas of things to do
with it and I will make the elephant necklace.
I am sure someone will like him. (NB. You can return a box in unused condition
should it not be for you.)
Even though
the kit wasn't really 'me' I am far from disappointed. In my opinion this
subscription box is fantastic value for money and a nice little treat to
myself. It contains quality supplies, which are wrapped and presented really
well. It feels like this is a company that really cares. I will be looking
forward to box 17 and also hope to lay my hands on the one off Christmas
special.
Hopefully in the next few weeks I can show you what
I made from my box.
Interesting! I'll look forward to seeing what comes in your next box!!
