Inside: Get creative with Fall and Winter Craft Kits perfect for seasonal decorations and heartfelt holiday gifts for your loved ones.
Do you enjoy decorating your home for the season or holidays? Or giving seasonal or holiday themed gifts? I’ve got some dopamine-increasing craft kits to share with you that are perfect for your seasonal and holiday needs.
While there are holidays that happen year-round, it seems like those in the winter are the ones we like to celebrate and have guests over for more often. Winter is the “holiday season” for so many. Craft kits are a great way to get ready for the season.
Why Craft Kits?
Why get seasonal and holiday craft kits? First of all, if you are here reading this, odds are high that you enjoy crafting. You may be a yarn-craft-only lover, or you maybe like me and adore all crafts. Life’s too short to ignore what makes you happy, so craft away!
The finished items you create with these kits have so many uses:
- Decorate your home
- Decorate yourself
- Keep you warm in the cold months
- Give as holiday gifts
- Give as host gifts when you attend a gathering
- Keep on hand for last-minute gifts
- Give the kits themselves (not the finished items) to other crafters
Where To Find Kits
You can hop in the car and go buy some kits in a store, but not everyone has a car, or a store with craft kits nearby. So online is always a great way to get your craft kits. Personally, my first stop is almost always Herrschners. I like the company, they are USA based so shipping works well for me, and they have a large variety of kits.
At Herrschners, you can find kits for so many types of crafts:
- Crochet
- Cross Stitch
- Embroidery
- Kids
- Knit
- Latch Hook
- Needlepoint
- Models
- Mosaics
- Macrame
- Paint By Number
- Plastic Canvas
- Pony Beads
- Punch Needle
- Quilling
- Quilt Magic
- Sequin & Pin Art
- String Art
Herrschners sells their own kits, and they also sell kits from many other brands, making it a great one-stop-shop.
What Seasons or Holidays To Craft For
Unsure of where to start, or what to look for? Here’s a list of Fall & Winter seasons and holidays that you can find kits for (there are more for Spring & Summer, but we will look at those another time):
What We’re Crafting At Home
Herrschners sent us 3 Halloween themed craft kits this year, and we are loving them! There was a pony bead ornament kit, a sequin craft kit, and a cross stitch coaster kit.
I’ve made glass bead bracelets and rings with a similar beading style as was used in the pony bead kit, but using pony beads this way was new to me. I had so much fun with it, and found it to be super relaxing once I got into the zone. Last week I shared a full article just about the pony bead kits, you can find that HERE.
Next, Vero and I tackled the sequin kit. It was so nifty! The kit included Styrofoam shapes that you pin sequins and beads into to make some spooky potion bottles. We got such a kick out of the fact that the potion bottles were made from the same shapes as Christmas ornaments, you just cut off some parts to turn them into bottles. You can see what I mean in the first and second picture below. It’s little things like this that help keep the prices down at Herrschners.
The instructions for the kit were clear and easy to follow. Vero and I had no problems crafting our witchy brews. It ended up being 3 evenings of chatting and crafting together, which is always something we both love.
Here are some process photos, followed by finished photos with and without the lights on.
Lastly we have a Halloween Pet Coasters cross stitch kit. I got started on the cat, and Vero has called dibs on the mouse. We haven’t had the time to finish them for this spooky season, but that’s fine, we’ll use them next year.
My Favs!
I know I shared the links to find all sorts of kits at the top of this article, and I also wanted to share some of my favorites. While looking through Herrschners kits, here are some Fall and Winter kits that I liked in a verity of crafts and themes.
