CRAFTY TREATS TO TRY
LIFT YOUR SPIRITS AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW WITH THESE CREATIVE KITS – ALL FOR UNDER £19!
MAKE YOUR OWN MASK
Sew your way to safety by crafting a stylish mask. Ideal for beginners, this makeshift kit includes fabric for four machine-washable masks, along with nose bridges and the elastic to hold it in place – enough to protect your whole family. All profits made from sales will be donated to NHS Charities Together, supporting staff and volunteers caring for COVID patients.
COLOUR DURING YOUR COFFEE BREAK
Allow yourself to forget recent stresses as you fill in the pages of this therapeutic artist-designed colouring book. Crammed with bold illustrations focusing on women, patterns and plants, this lovely book makes a great coffee table decoration – or you could even separate the pages and frame them. For every book sold, Hive will donate six per cent of sale money to a bookshop of your choice.
RUSTLE UP A WREATH
You don’t have to wait for the festive holidays to jazz things up with a wreath. An autumn display will pep up your front door in a flash and make you the envy of your neighbours. Make use of all the colourful foliage available to you by rustling up your very own show piece. To start, this great value kit will give you all the basics you need, including a wire base, moss, twine for hanging and wire for binding, as well as a selection of dried flowers to spruce up your own foraging.
CRACK ON WITH POTTERY
Prone to dropping dinnerware? Give broken crockery a new lease of life by mastering Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing damaged ceramics with golden glue. Inspired by the idea that things become more beautiful through their imperfections, this kit contains two bowls for you to practise on, and enough materials and tools for you to repair a few of your own items, too.
