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!
That is a really fun idea, I would love to do this with my kids
My friend is a designer, she involves me in similar projects every time I visit her.
LOOKS GREAT
These are beautiful decorations, I would love to make them with my daughter someday.
They look really neat and I am sure the kids really enjoyed doing them!
One have to have while traveling with little ones is definitely a stroller and don’t forget diaper bag! Infant carriers get so heavy n you just can’t leave anywhere without a diaper bag! We just found out we are expecting twins so we will need 2 of both lol :)
Must try this next xmas when the kids will be the perfect age!
We did a craft like this a few (4?) years ago (when I only had one kid). It was pretty neat to be able to let my 2 year old make a christmas decoration that wasn’t made of paper, one that we can keep for years. We had fun shaking different colours together to get cool designs
That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing.
great idea for next christmas,thanks
