Behind the Scenes: How We Create Our Craft Kits - Blog Post 004
At Let’s Make & Do, every craft kit is a carefully crafted experience — designed to inspire creativity, spark joy, and make crafting accessible and fun for everyone. But have you ever wondered how our kits come to life? Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show exactly how we create our craft kits, from the initial idea to the finished product in your hands.
From Inspiration to Idea: The Creative Spark
Our journey begins with inspiration. Whether it’s a new seasonal theme, a popular craft trend, or a clever way to make crafting easier and more enjoyable, each kit starts as a spark of creativity.
We consider:
- What children and adults want to create — fun, simple, beautiful projects
- How to keep the craft process beginner-friendly but rewarding
- Using sustainable, eco-friendly materials wherever possible
- What makes a craft kit perfect for parties, mindful solo crafting, or gifts
This early brainstorming ensures each craft kit feels fresh, exciting, and perfectly tailored for our customers.
Designing the Perfect Project: Clarity Meets Creativity
Once we settle on a concept, we design the craft project itself. This phase involves:
- Sketching and planning the craft steps and materials needed
- Creating clear, easy-to-follow templates or patterns if necessary
- Testing the kit multiple times to balance fun and difficulty
- Refining the instructions until they’re perfectly clear and engaging
Because many of our kits are beginner-friendly, clarity is essential. That’s why each kit includes beautifully illustrated instruction cards that guide you step-by-step, as well as optional video tutorials for extra support.
Recording Our Instructional Videos: A Zen Experience
A unique part of our craft kits is the inclusion of QR code video tutorials, filmed right in our studio to create a truly calming and inspiring experience.
I personally present these videos, demonstrating how to assemble each kit step by step. The videos are carefully scripted to be clear and encouraging, ideal for all skill levels. To enhance the mindful crafting vibe, we add beautiful instrumental guitar music in the background — soft, soothing, and zen-like. This creates an immersive, peaceful atmosphere for crafters, whether they’re enjoying a solo unwind session or crafting with friends at a party.
These videos are a game-changer because they allow users to craft confidently without needing a live host. Just scan the QR code, follow along at your own pace, and relax into the process.
Sourcing Materials: Quality and Sustainability at the Heart
We’re passionate about using materials that feel beautiful to touch, look lovely, and are as eco-friendly as possible. Our sourcing process involves:
- Selecting FSC-certified paper and card for sustainability
- Using non-toxic, safe paints, glues, and finishes
- Finding natural fibres and wooden elements that are tactile and durable
- Minimising plastic use with recycled or recyclable packaging
Our commitment to sustainability means you can enjoy our craft kits with peace of mind, knowing we prioritise the planet alongside creativity.
Packaging That Protects and Inspires
Packaging is more than just protection — it’s part of the crafting experience. We design each box or bag to be:
- Compact and easy to store or carry
- Stylish with modern, clean branding that appeals to adults and kids alike
- Informative, featuring project details and social media links to connect with our crafting community
- Waste-conscious, using minimal, recyclable materials and avoiding plastic where possible
Every detail is thoughtfully considered to make opening your kit exciting and environmentally responsible.
Quality Control and Shipping: Ensuring a Perfect Experience
Before any kit leaves our workshop, we perform rigorous quality checks to ensure:
- All materials are included and in perfect condition
- Instruction cards are printed clearly and video links work flawlessly
- Packaging is secure, beautiful, and ready for your crafting fun
Once checked, your kit is carefully packed and shipped, ready to deliver creativity, calm, and fun straight to your door.
Why Transparency and Quality Matter
At Let’s Make & Do, we’re proud to share the care and creativity behind our craft kits. We believe transparency builds trust, and it’s important to us that you know every kit is made with passion, high standards, and eco-conscious values.
We aim to create craft kits that aren’t just products — they’re experiences designed for parties, mindful solo crafting, gifts, and moments of calm creativity.
