Photo: Cratejoy I’ve always admired people who regularly do arts and crafts, and usually feel inspired to do my own at-home craft around a special holiday. But the majority of the time, I’m overwhelmed with trying to figure out which exact project to complete, what supplies I need, and how much this will cost me overall. So when Cratejoy sent me the Adults and Crafts Crate, I was relieved to find that this kit came with all of the supplies and a full set of instructions. Thousands of shoppers turn to Cratejoy, which is a hub for subscription boxes across various interests and occasions. You can find easy gifts for Valentine’s Day or shop the best-selling kits like the craft box that I received. This Adults and Crafts Crate had materials for a Resin Agate Coasters project, which I admit, initially intimidated me as a beginner crafter. But after reading through the guide, I soon realized it wasn’t that complicated at all. This subscription box is offered in one-, three-, six-, and 12-month plans with prices starting at $32. Cratejoy To buy: From $32; cratejoy.com. I already felt like a professional crafter after setting up my small craft station with all of the included supplies from the coaster mold and mixing cups to paints and resin. Each step was detailed with the exact amount of paint and resin to mix and photos for reference. I found that this helped me stay on track more than any other (attempted) at-home project I’ve done. I was glad that this crafting process was so streamlined and stress-free, and I surprised myself with having this new skill. Real Simple / Sarah Byron To buy: From $32; cratejoy.com.
