16 embroidery kits to keep you entertained on lazy weekends
Destress and learn a new skill
If your New Year's resolution is to try something new, then let us humbly put forward embroidery as a suggestion. There are loads of really cool kits out there for you to practise with and once you become a pro, you can use your newfound skillset to add some extra homemade detailing to your jackets or t-shirts.
Tackling an embroidery kit will, along with teaching you a really useful new skill, give you something pretty at the end to decorate your home with (along with a sense of accomplishment). Once you're done creating your masterpiece, you can turn the fabric into something like a cushion, or simply frame it and hang it on the wall. Even keeping it in the stitching hoop and hanging that can look really cute!
There are many embroidery kits available for different skill levels, so there'll be something out there for you, whether you're a seasoned stitcher or never picked up a needle in your life. We've found a selection of our fave embroidery kits below.
Even the worst plant parents can keep this cheery Monstera alive! This needle punching kit uses chunkier yarn than most embroidery options, so it's something a bit different. You can buy either or both kits, so if you go for the two, it'll keep you entertained for a while and give you a pretty set to hang on your wall.
How cute is this? This seller has loooads of embroidery kits in this vibe, so you can pick up a few if you can't choose your favourite. We think it'd make a good gift for a pal, too.
