DIY Kits from Artists & Makers Vol. 2
Here’s another collection of beautiful DIY kits from artists and makers! We hope you enjoy discovering some fantastic small businesses and ways to grow creatively!
Please keep in mind that all of these kits come from small businesses and are mainly produced by hand, in small batches. We will try to include kits that are likely to be available and able to ship when this is posted, but please take time to check each maker’s website or instagram to find up to date shipping or restocking info. Some makers also may not be able to restock immediately due to recent difficulty in receiving supplies. If that is the case, we encourage you to bookmark those shops for later!
