A Subscription Craft Box from Crafty Creatives? What’s this all about then? I’ll start from the beginning….
Whilst on Twitter (my biggest addiction), I came across the fab newly formed Crafty Creatives, run by sisters, Claire and Isobel. They offer something no one else in the UK does – a craft box sent to your door every month, full of surprise craft supply items. Only a tenner and a bit for P&P!
I’d seen a few beauty box subscriptions out there, but I’d been waiting for a craft version to become available, as it combines my love of craft supplies and receiving post. Perfect! Judging by the quality of the first box I received (#CCBox1), Claire and Isobel have done a fantastic job of sourcing high quality suppliers and developing a strong brand.
So what was in it?! I’m sure there will be a few of these posts out there, but I wanted to share the box straight away. DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU DON’T WANT A SPOILER!! In future, I plan to blog about what I have made from the supplies.
The box has a floral theme throughout and includes buttons, beads, gift tag, floral pegs, tissue paper, a glass pendant, embroidery thread, fabric-tac (full size bottle), cotton ribbon, a fat quarter of William Morris fabric and 2 smiley flower beads. Sadly I wasn’t the lucky recipient of the surprise ladybird, but here’s hoping for next time!
Also included was a kit to make an item, this time it is a fabric brooch.
My favourite item was the floral pegs – sweet!
It feels as though your box is lovingly put together with care, attention and a handmade touch. Fantastic value and a real treat if your postman obeys your note directing him to your secret hiding place for parcels!
Crafty Creatives boxes are only available in the UK at the moment, but I believe they have plans to expand into the EU eventually. For my US readers, Whimsey Box offers a similar service.
I’m already looking forward to Box 2!

Wow what a fantastic idea! This seems like a better investment (and cheaper!) than my gym membership! I think I may have to invest when my gym membership expires…
Omg! This is such an amazing idea. Def need to get round to ordering one. Perfect way to try and get the creative juices flowing!!
Do it quick – Box 2 is bound to get all signed up for as so many people will be blogging and spreading the word.
This makes me wish I was more crafty!! I’ll pass it on to my crafty friends!
Maybe if you got a box it would inspire you to be more crafty?!
What a brilliant idea! Clever ladies!
I love the fact that there were a few tiny differences between boxes, just to make each person feel special. But also I look forward to seeing lots of different things being made with the same materials!
I want one! Love it x
This is product is such a great idea. I’ve seen a company that does this for kids but not for adults. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I want one!
Signed up! They even sorted out a potential delivery issue for me. Really helpful. Looking forward to getting the box.
Fantastic. I know you will make amazing things!
Oooh how exciting! I can’t wait to see what you make with it!
everything is so cute! I especially love the floral ribbon!
This all looks really cute and it’s such a good idea
I always think of crafty ideas I would like to make but never end up doing it ha ha

That does look really well put together and for less than a tenner? Awesome. I’ll check them out. Thanks for sharing.
