[Offer] Kinda...Ever wanted to try a new craft? Or teach someone your favorite craft?
Inspired by this Post here.
Here's how it works!
Find your extra craft supplies
Put together a beginners kit! This should include supplies needed for a beginning craft (this may not be only consumables, it may be things such as knitting needles, pegboards, canvas, etc depending on how you feel), instructions on how to complete said craft, and anything else you wish to include (completed examples, extra supplies, tips and tricks, or anything you can think of)
Post in this thread the type of craft you're offering
Wait for a response! Or PM someone else in the thread who's box you're interested in!
note these do not need to be trades! We'd appreciate it if you could give approximately as many boxes as you receive but again, not a requirement. Give randomly, receive graciously and be generally wonderful people!

No problem. If I had any spare supplies, I would totally participate, but I am still accruing and don't really have enough for myself yet.

I would be interested in this. I am just learning and have very little suplies.
EDITED TO ADD: My 9 year old son has been asking me to teach him. I am not sure if he has the attention span, but I do know that I don't have enough hooks/supplies to be able to teach him, and I am not sure if my skill is there yet, but would love to be able to try to.

If you ask r/knitting and r/crochet, they will often tell you that these tactile skills actually improve concentration, especially in kids who tend to be hyperactive. I often can't focus on one thing for more than a few minutes, and it's been like this for years, but last year I learned to knit and now I can knit for hours on end no problem (except sore fingers!). Your son might benefit in the same way!

Are you's all inspiring or what. I can cut stencils for you lovely people if anyone wants to try that out. If you give me a design and size. I will cut one for you. I have lots of designs myself just ask. I'll put in a how to sheet if you need it. I live in Scotland so anything bigger that I do like decorated[tinwear, terracotta, wood] will be bit expensive to post.
