There’s nothing better than a homemade gift, but a homemade gift can sometimes go wrong too. Pinterest provides endless inspiration for easy crafts and gifts, but just like everyone, I’ve had some Pinterest “fails” when trying to replicate a seemingly easy craft!
That’s why I love the concept of Darby Smart craft kits. I received a First Snow Glass Ornaments craft kit to test out recently and I was so excited to add a personalized touch to our Christmas tree. Darby Smart kits contain everything needed to create beautiful do-it-yourself crafts and gifts including easy to follow instructions sure to produce great results.
The ornament kit was simple, but so classy. I received six glass ornaments, three shades of Martha Stewart Acrylic metallic paint and a Silver Sakura paint pen. I just poured a little paint into each of the ornaments and shook them until the inside was coated. After they had dried, I used the paint pen to write on the outside of the ornaments. I decided to personalize them with our names for a special touch and they turned out so pretty!
It was a simple craft that produced beautiful results and I was so impressed by how easy it had been. Darby Smart also offers craft kits suitable for all kinds of other occasions, including customized champagne flutes, decorative pillows and handmade jewellery. If you have somebody crafty on your Christmas list, a Darby Smart monthly TO DIY FOR subscription makes a great last minute gift too. Check out the site for yourself and find Christmas gifts and other projects that will have you crafting like a pro!
These are sweet :) In the past I have also just put a few drops of different colour paint in a clear ornament and we swirl it around, that’s a nice one too
That looks like a fun craft project and they are so beautiful
LOVE this idea! Definitely love that they have such cool crafting kits
Awesome idea for little ones, I would also suggest mixing up decoration dough and using cookie cutter exc to make ordiments! Always something to keep as a memory keepsake!
going to do this next year with my kids
What a great idea for the kids, my daughter loves every type of craft out there and these look wonderful!
That is cool
I love this post, thank you so much for sharing. It is great to make crafts for the holidays with kids because it remains with them forever. It doesn´t only become a thing, it becomes a special memory.
This does look like a lot of fun – and not just for kids!
I love this idea. I’m not very crafty so inspiration from others is so helpful.
Not super impressed that you have to sign up before you can even check out Darby’s site though. I’d rather check it out before entering my e-mail address.
