Needlecrafts for Kids

Looking for needlecrafts for kids?

Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved to make things and I was particularly lucky to have had my Mum to teach me how to knit and sew when I was very young, and a sister who taught me how to embroider and later got me addicted to cross stitch!

Combining knitting and sewing, I then started toymaking and made gifts for much younger family members and friends too.

These are skills which last a lifetime, once we've learned the basics, and there are some really fun and easy-to-do needlecrafts for kids projects right here to get them started.

For complete beginners, there's the First Sewing kit from KSG.

The Twilleys Cross Stitch Creative Craft Case is a great kit for beginners to cross stitch and I'm sure you'll love the Spare Moments cross stitch kits from KSG and the small cross stitch kits from Mouseloft - suitable for both boys and girls and adults too!

As knitting has become popular once again, try the Shimmer Knitting Kit from KSG or learn to knit a flower, a bumble bee, a ladybird and a frog with the Twilleys Knitting Set for beginners. Plus you can create your own bean bag buddies with the fabulous new Bean Bag Knits from John Adams!

Plus there's also Crochet, Long Stitch, Tapestry, Quilting, Tie Dye and the fabulous new Raffia Stitch kit from John Adams too!

So many choices!

Happy crafting.

PS: Don't miss my other page that's full of mini counted cross stitch kits. Take a look here - prices start from just 99p and they're suitable for children and adults alike!

John Adams - Raffia Stitch

JA08

£17.97
Free Delivery

A fantastic new craft kit from John Adams!

Make and stitch a jewellery box, a desk tidy, a trinket box and a pencil case!

Learn how to make simple stitches and transform the flat sheets of white mesh into sturdy little containers for storing all your bits and pieces.

The brightly coloured instruction leaflet will show you, in a clear and easy way, how to make each stitch with the safe plastic needle.

Your finished collection will make a stunning display for your bedroom dressing table!

Pack contents:

  • Plastic mesh
  • Over 60m of Raffia in assorted colours (red, pink, white, blue, yellow & dark red)
  • Assorted beads and pom poms to decorate your finished boxes
  • Plastic needle
  • Colour instructions
