Mental Health Awareness Week: 3 Crafty Wellbeing Activities

As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we thought we’d share with you some crafting activities that you can do in the comfort of your own home. Channeling your creativity and keeping your hands busy is the perfect combination of activities that can help you look after your mental health. 

Take some time out of your hectic schedule to create something beautiful for your home or a piece of jewellery that’s bespoke to you. 

Personalised Silver Ring Making Kit

Launched last year, we developed our Personalised Silver Ring Making Kit inspired by our ever-popular Ring Making Classes. Packaged to perfection, this little kit includes an illustrated ‘How To’ and tools to create your very own ring. Learn the ancient art of wax carving that we’ll cast in sterling silver and send back to you. There’s even a practice piece of wax for you to experiment with before designing your masterpiece. We even offer refill packs for you to create more rings whenever you’re feeling inspired. We can even add hand-stamped personalisations to most designs - why not add a motivational quote to your ring for on-going support when you wear it.

 

 Macramé Plant Hanger Craft Kit 

This one is a double-whammy of wellbeing. We recently learnt “why looking after plants is the ultimate form of self-care”, and our Macramé Plant Hanger Craft Kit is not only a great arts and craft activity, it can also beautifully display your plant-babies! Witha variety of different colours for the macramé thread, from muted natural shades through to vibrant bright tones, there’s something for every décor. Create a unique knotted design with copper accents and display your self-care activities with pride. 

 

  

 String Art Craft Kit

Another interior offering, our String Art Craft Kit comes in four designs; Bear, Bunny, Fox or Unicorn. Created by winding different coloured threads around an arrangement of nails to produce a picture, String Art is a fun and relaxing activity.
