There’s something undeniably magical about crafting traditions at Christmas. As the days grow shorter and the nights stretch out, many of us instinctively turn to the comfort of making things by hand - paper snowflakes in the windows, gingerbread biscuits cooling on the rack, handmade Christmas decorations dangling from the tree.
At The Crafty Kit Company, we believe these quiet moments of creativity are some of the most meaningful parts of the festive season. Whether it’s Christmas crafting with loved ones around the kitchen table or stealing away a few peaceful minutes with a needle-felting project, these are the times we remember.
This tradition of festive making inspired our Advent Needle Felting Kit, which has become something of a seasonal ritual for many of our customers. Designed to bring a daily dose of calm and creativity throughout December, this year’s kit is our most beautiful yet. With 12 surprise projects tucked inside, it's a wonderful way to enjoy mindful making at Christmas and create something special each day.
For those looking for small Christmas craft ideas with a sprinkle of humour and a touch of mystery, our Mini Matchbox Festive Bundle is a joyful alternative. Each tiny mini matchbox cross stitch kit is a cute, beginner-friendly project. You can choose the secretive Riddle Boxes or opt for labelled designs - ideal as stocking fillers or little gifts for fellow crafters. Each kit takes about an hour to complete; a lovely way to stress down in the evening after the hectic days of December!
We know that crafting isn't just about the finished item. It's about slowing down, being present, and taking time for yourself - or sharing that time with someone special. It’s about weaving new Christmas craft traditions with old threads.
So whether you’re counting down the days with our festive crafting kits or popping open a Mini Matchbox with a friend, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating the true spirit of Christmas: connection, creativity, and a little bit of everyday magic.
