1. Making candles
Candle making is so much fun! You can really let your creativity run wild by working with different molds or teacups from the thrift store. From the color and scent to the shape of the candle, you decide. Extra fun is that it is super relaxing. Melting the wax, mixing scents, and decorating the candles can be a real zen moment.
Homemade candles also make great unique gifts for your friends and family. Complete beginners will also be able to do this DIY, there is actually very little that can go wrong! It is a matter of melting the wax at the right temperature, which will not be a problem with the thermometer. Then you place a wick in your mold or cup, pour out the wax and let it harden. Easy Peasy! This DIY is suitable for both groups and working alone.
2. Embroidery
Embroidery is my personal favorite and in my opinion the most relaxing hobby of the 6! It is a slow craft where it is just as much about the process as about the end result. So if you really want a moment for yourself and get out of your head, get started with a modern embroidery kit. Even without any experience there are embroidery patterns among them that are super easy to do.
Each package comes with a comprehensive manual that shows you exactly how to proceed. So don't be intimidated by examples that look very detailed, often a pattern consists of only 3 to 5 different embroidery stitches and you can learn them by heart in no time!
This is what we find important:

Sustainability
When selecting the contents of the packages, but also with the packaging, we always look for the most sustainable solution. Did you know, for example, that the filling granules in the packages are completely biodegradable? Read more about our sustainable choices here .
5. Making paper
This is the newest package we added to the webshop, especially for the holidays it is nice to write a personal message on a beautiful piece of handmade paper!
In addition, just like all other DIYs, it is a very nice moment for yourself, this DIY is suitable to work on on a Sunday afternoon by yourself. What I really like about this DIY is the slow, relaxing process of making paper, but also the tangible beautiful paper that comes out of it. Drawing on this paper or writing texts immediately feels a lot more special.
4. Clay pot
Our DIY clay kit contains everything you need to make your own unique pots/candle holders/worms etc. The kit contains high quality clay that can be air dried or baked in a ceramic oven. So you can choose to visit your local pottery studio and have your work of art baked!
The package includes an extensive explanation of the various ceramic/clay techniques that you can use to sculpt the most beautiful creations. This DIY, just like the soap making package, is also super suitable for large groups with both children and adults. Everyone can make a nice pot of clay according to their own level!
Bramen & Frambozen struiken
Onze naam is dan misschien Blauwe Bessen struiken .NL maar Bramen en Frambozen zijn ook hartstikke lekker en makkelijk om te planten!
​
Ze geven veel fruit en laten snel resultaat zien.
Het is echt genieten om in de zomer of nazomer even naar buiten te lopen en zo een handje verschillende verse vruchten te plukken. Ze groeien makkelijk, doen het in veel tuinen goed en geven je dat fijne gevoel dat je iets eet wat je helemaal zelf hebt gekweekt. Bovendien zijn frambozen en bramen niet alleen lekker om zo te eten, maar ook perfect voor jam, desserts of smoothies en net als blauwe bessen hartstikke gezond!
