I love Christmas and especially crafts! Pinterest is very popular at this time of the year and is usually my go-to place for inspiration. Christmas craft ideas are coming left, right and centre at the moment - and sometimes can be quite overwhelming. I enjoy hands-on crafts, which include paper, stickers and general collage items. It gave me the idea of making a 'Christmas Craft Box' for my kids, especially my toddler - who absolutely loves doing collage.
You can spend a lot of money on craft supplies, especially when you buy the items individually. But thanks to good ol' K-Mart, they have made things a lot easier for us, by creating some awesome Christmas Craft Packs. It didn't take me long to have what I needed for our Christmas Craft Box, and it only took about 10 minutes to put it all together. Enjoy!
*This is NOT a Sponsored post. I purchased all the items myself and wanted to share them with you.
Supplies:
1. The Christmas Sticker Tub is great value at $6 (NZ$), which includes 45 x Adhesive foam stickers, 4 x Plain sticker rolls, 2 x Glitter sticker rolls and 2 x Holographic sticker rolls. I only put 4 rolls of stickers in our craft box to begin with and have kept the other four rolls as spare.
2. Bumper Xmas Craft Kit with 205 pieces of Craft Supplies - everything you need in one pack! Another great bargain at $6 (NZ$). Includes 100 pom poms, 3 bags of glitter, and 2 adhesive foam sheets. It also has 20 foam figure stickers (reindeer, Santa, Christmas tree, penguin etc), 30 googly eyes and 50 chenille sticks (pipe cleaners) in assorted colours.
3. Our supplies are all stored in a Sistema 7.9 litre container*, includes storage tray (perfect for keeping your supplies organised). In the bottom compartment, I have added some coloured paper (white paper has been added since photos were taken) and the pipe cleaners. *Purchased from The Warehouse (NZ)
I absolutely love our Christmas Craft Box and I can't wait to share it with the kids in the next week or so, as we get closer to Christmas!
Here are some more photos of our Christmas Craft Box, to hopefully inspire you to make your own for your family. Have fun!
Please note: Adult Supervision at ALL times. Small parts included (Choking Hazard)
Will you be making 'A Christmas Craft Box' for your family this year?

Additional: I have added small scissors, a glue stick and some felts to our Christmas Craft Box, so now we have everything we need, in one place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and everything is so reasonably priced! There are so many reasons to love K Mart! can't wait to see what you make when you all get your Christmas craft on! Enjoy the pom pom fest!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sammie. K Mart is great! I know the kids are going to love getting their 'craft on' :)
DeleteThat's a great idea, i bought a christmas craft bag from Riot when they were on special, Might have to go see if our kmart has those containers, always looking for better ways to contain the craft supplies.

ooh a Christmas craft bag sounds great! The container is from The Warehouse. (BIG W if you are in Australia) or you could try your local stationery shop.
DeleteI love this idea - bravo! My Miss T would be in heaven if she was let loose with the contents of this box. Ever since she turned 5, she has been craft obsessed. I think I'll be dropping into Kmart this week - thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was the same when she was 5, and hasn't stopped since (now 10). She loves doing crafts, especially when there are pretty things like these involved.
DeleteI love this idea. I think I'll do something similar next year when my little miss is less likely to eat the eyeballs and small stuff.
ReplyDeleteFair enough Toni! Your daughter will love it! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a great gift idea!
ReplyDeleteI know any kid would love to receive this as a gift!
DeleteWhat a great way to get all your Christmas craft supplies organized. Ours tend to end up everyone. Thanks for linking up at Made for Kids!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how long it will stay organised for Kim, thankfully I took a photo of it before the kids get stuck in!
DeleteThis is so awesome, I need to head to Kmart immediately, lol. My two girls just love Christmas craft and I am next to hopeless at it. This look brilliant and even I could manage it. They are going to be so happy xx
