Happy Friday crafters!
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a Crafty Creatives box, so for those of you that are fans of the craft subscription box service, here we go with two in one post!
CC Box 7 was a woodland themed box with beads, buttons, fabric and pendants. It felt autumnal with the leaves, pine cones and natural colours.
The highlight of the box for me was the Needle Felting Kit. I’ve wanted to try needle felting for ages, so it was a welcome treat.
The box suggested leaf patterns which I’ve yet to try, but I did make this cute needle felted heart whilst on the phone! It really is so simple and I was quite shocked to discover this. Obviously, you should be super careful with the needle (it has tiny barbs on the end to felt the wool) as I hear it’s very painful to stab yourself with one!
I’m going to be making my heart into a brooch and will sew tiny beads onto it I think.
The theme for CC Box 8 was Spots and Stripes! I’m a big fan of polka dots, so as soon as I saw the paper I got excited.
The art card was my favourite of all the boxes so far. I’ve followed Paul Heard‘s work for a while now and his use of colour never fails to make me smile.
The polka dot cupcake cases are utterly perfect for my new adventures with Dizzy the Kitchen Aid and the polymer clay (not pictured) and jewellery making supplies are going to be a lot of fun.
Who can resist a bit of washi tape and fabric too?! A really good selection I think.
Finally, I want to share with you my crochet mouse which I made from the CC Box 5 Kit. How cute is he? I think I will make some more of them for my kitty to play with, but next time use a smaller hook so it has a tighter finish. What do you think?

I had never heard of these boxes but they are such a good idea! Just signed up for my first box – so sad I missed out on that woodland one though! It looks so pretty!
Let me know what you think of the box when you get it! x
I’ve just posted a couple of videos to my Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/IzzyBeeCrafts) about this month’s box

My first make with items from box 8 (including the box itself!) – a washi tape holder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLa5BmedaAQ
Oh fantastic, I’ll be sure to stop by your You Tube channel to have a look!
There really are some pretty things in these boxes. I agree with you I think the mouse would benefit from being made using a smaller hook. She’s rather cute though, lovely ears
The cat has been playing with the mouse lots so I might have to make some more!
Finally picked up box eight today! Looking forward to having a go with the polymer clay, I used to love it when I was little.
Very cute mouse you made too! X
Funnily enough I bought some clay a couple of days before the box arrived! Look forward to seeing what you make x
Argh, those boxes sound both fabulous and dangerous!
