8 DIY Kits You Must Try This Spring!

April 08, 2021

Spring is just around the corner and nothing says inspiration more than the warm sun, blooming flowers, and a swift breeze! Here’s a list of springtime crafts to celebrate in the new season and decorate your home at the same time! All of these kits can be found on Etsy and support small business owners!

TIP FOR SMALL BUSINESS ADVOCATES- you can always buy directly from the maker if they have their own web store to save them on commission fees!!



1. Moss Art, $28+
Bring the outdoors into your home and create your very own charming wall art! Bring life to any space by adding a pop of greenery to any wall, shelf, or desk! Naturely Box’s moss art frames are easy to assemble and you will have a lot of fun doing so!

2. Soap Making, $23+
These soap kits are a great way to learn something new, to get creative, & to connect with others. They make great gifts & are great for events either by zoom or in person. You get to create a total of 4 mini soaps in this kit (2x2x1 inches). Everything is measured out and the instructions are very clear, so it is perfect for beginners!

3. Embroidery, $50+
This kit is perfect for beginners who are trying embroidery for the first time or old pros looking for a pre-made design. There are a couple basic stitches needed for this pattern and they are explained in detail in the instruction booklet, included with your order.
PS: I’ve personally tried this kit and I absolutely love it! The instructional booklet is very clear and I’ve hung the finished project in my living room!

4. Watercolor, $30
All supplies included! By eliminating the most intimidating part of the painting (drawing it) I’ve created a process that is easy and relaxing. Just like an adult coloring book, the painting is pre-outlined, so all you have to do is follow the simple directions and fill the colors in. Not only are they convenient to travel with, but they also make the perfect creative gift, activity with friends, or starter kit for those who want to explore a new craft.

Our hand-crafted, heirloom-quality plant and flower presses will not only allow you to preserve the beauty of the flowers and foliage you have found but will allow you to share it with others for generations to come.

A Mini Watercolor Tutorial by MayaxKiwi

Let me show you how to blend watercolors together using two different techniques!

The the wet-on-dry method requires you to mix two colors together for the middle section. This is a great way to get your gradient to be soft and smooth!

The wet-on-wet method allows the water to do all the work for you and leaves behind a beautiful bloom or texture!

A Mini Watercolor Tutorial by MayaxKiwi

We all make mess up our watercolor paintings sometimes, even me! (Frequently my foster kittens.)


Lifting is the process of removing watercolor pigment from your papers surface with a paper towel or sometimes a dry brush.

PRO TIP: using an untextured soft paper towel works miracles! Some napkins and towels tear or leave behind bits of material. Viva Cloth-like Paper Towels are my absolute favorite and must-have for any watercolorist! This is not sponsored or endorsed- I’m saying this because it’s true! Good luck!
