New DIY Subscription- Project DIY Debut Box Review and Giveaway

Happy Wednesday. Whoo what a week already. Still in the middle of a big move, and it is taking the life out of me. Moving is just not my thing at all. And, with the move I have to make sure all my subscriptions know my new shipping address. That being said, I have many reviews coming to you soon.  One that I am have been super excited to share with you is my M & J Trimming Project DIY box I got.  Love DIY, and this box is just so exciting, I cannot wait for you to see the awesome projects!

What is Project DIY?

This is a new runway and street-styled inspired DIY subscription box service that sends out 2-3 original accessory and jewelry projects designed by the M & J Trimming in-house jewelry designers.  Subscribers will receive step-by-step instructions, premium materials and trims from M&J Trimming to make your own accessories and jewelry, and delivered right to your door each month.  Cost per month is $30.

Autumn in New York Debut Box

This box was beautifully put together, and each project was in it’s own separate little packet. Also included is a Starter Bag with all the necessary tools to get these Project DIY pieces put together with ease.  I love making jewelry so I was super stoked to get started on these projects.  Here are the awesome projects in the debut Project DIY box:

Starter Kit

Horseshoe Wrap Bracelet

Everything was included in this little pack, and the materials were great quality.  This DIY project was seriously so simple. You probably could make this without the tools in the Starter Kit, but the tools made the bending of the wire so much easier. This bracelet is definitely something I would buy, so I was super excited to see how it turned out when I was finished. I love that I was able to make this with my own two hands. Here is my finished product!

Suede Tassel Keychain

Great fall looking key chain. I have not been able to make this one yet, but think it looks very Autumn. Again, I think from the looks of it this Tassel Keychain will be easier to make than the bracelet.

Equestrian Charm Necklace

What I loved about each of the projects in this Project DIY was that all the metal included in these projects were gold in tone. I love goldish/bronze toned jewelry, so all the pieces were perfectly my style. This necklace turned out to look so great, and cannot wait to wear it.  Again, very easy, and here is my finished necklace!

TICKLED PINK OPINION

I am very impressed with the debut Project DIY subscription box. I think that it is a great way for everyone to be a little creative, especially because each of the projects are very easy to do. Not only do I like Project DIY because it is easy, and affordable, $30 per month, but also because the project are actually pieces that I really like, will wear, and will use.  Also, they are easily duplicated. So, if you just go buy the same materials online or at the craft store you can make these Project DIY pieces for all your friends and family. I cannot wait for the next Project DIY!

My first Whimseybox - Unboxing and Review

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.
