I
received this box in September, but come to find out this is actually August’s
box. I really love DIY crafts, and wish I had more time to partake in this
creative outlet. When I was not so busy I made jewelry, knitted, crocheted, and
even started the venture in to sewing. So, it is not a surprise that Whimseybox caught my eye. I finally decided that I would subscribe, and I was so
excited to receive my first box.
What
is Whimseybox?
Whimseybox believes that everyone can make something beautiful.
The team behind Whimseybox has curated a box that allows anyone to make a great
DIY craft. Each month Whimseybox takes the hassle out of having to gather
materials and follow confusing instructions for DIY projects. Each month
Whimseybox will send a DIY project, along with the materials and easy
instructions right to your door. Cost is
$15 per month. ($5 extra surcharge for subscribers in Canada).
WHIMSEYBOX Box #21 (August Box)
This came so nicely packaged.
I mean look at this first you go through this great first box, into a second
box, and when you open the Whimseybox it is nicely wrapped in a ribbon. I
really do love it when a company takes time in presentation of a box. In my
opinion, it really shows that the
company cares about their subscribers.
The Project
The DIY project for this month’s
Whimseybox was a Beaded Wrap Bracelet. I love that this came with enough
material to make two bracelets. One for myself, and one for a friend, or both
for myself.
The Supplies
Each Whimseybox comes with everything you need to finish the
DIY project for that box. This box came with not only the materials you need to
make the bracelet (cord, button hole, needle and thread, beads), but it also
came with everything you need to help you complete this without struggling to
complete the project while doing it on your own (binder clips, clip board, ). I really
appreciated getting the clip board and the clips. I have made bracelets like
this in the past and it is hard to do on your own, if you do not have the right
materials to hold down the cord.
Instruction Card/ Art Card
The instructions that came in this Whimseybox for the
bracelet were very easy to follow and each step comes with pictures, which help as well. The
instruction card is not only the instructions for the project, but it doubles
as an art card, that I fully plan on framing. The lovely art on the front is
called Vintage Birds by Claire Barone. I really think it is quite lovely, and
such a nice touch from Whimseybox curators.
TICKLED PINK OPINION: I was
very impressed with my first Whimseybox. I think that the pricing is just
right, and the quality of all the materials for the project is wonderful. A box
like the Whimseybox just makes crafting so much easier for someone who does not
have the time to think up a crafty DIY project, as well as go out and get the
supplies to complete the project. I
really loved the bracelet in this box, and I loved the art card that was
included. I really look forward to seeing what is in store for the next
Whimseybox.

Stay Tickled
